Adding an existing association/dependency to a diagram How do I add an existing association/dependency to a diagram for an element that is already on the diagram.
For example, I have an existing class diagram that contains the classes Foo and Bar. There is a association from Foo to Bar that is not displayed in the diagram that I wish to show. I can see this association in Foo's association list but cannot see any way to add it to the diagram. I do not wish to add all of Foo's associations as I've purposefully removed some of the relations from the diagram. |

Re: Adding an existing association/dependency to a diagram Hello chilversc,
There are a few ways to do so. Method One: 1) Delete the Bar class from diagram (Select [Delete from Diagram] from Bar class's Pop-up menu) 2) Drag & Drop the Bar class from the Structure tree to the diagram Then the association between Foo and Bar classes should appear. Method Two: (Available in Astah UML or Astah Professional only) 1) If you are using Astah UML or Astah Professional edition, select either Foo or Bar class, and then select [Show Hidden Relationships] from its Pop-up menu. 2) A dialog appears with a list of invisible relationships that the selected class contains. Tick the checkbox of the relationship (association, dependency..etc) you want to show in the diagram and then click [OK] FYI, if you select [Show Related Elements] instead of [Show Hidden Relationships], all the existing associations that the selected class contains will be added to the diagram which you do not want in this case I suppose. Hope this helps. If you have any questions or problems, please let us know. When you do, please let us know which edition & version of Astah you are using. So that our response would be more proper. (The latest version, Astah 6.5 is used in this response.) Thanks. Cheers, SJ |
