You can work with UML modeling relationship and links in the following ways:

Relationship Discovery

The IDE offers a Relationship Discovery button to reveal project relationships that exist between classes in your UML project, but are not displayed in your diagrams. Use this button if an association, generalization, or implementation is not visible.

To use the Relationship Discovery button:

  1. On a diagram, click one element.
  2. Ctrl-click all the remaining elements.
  3. In the Diagram toolbar, click the Relationship Discovery button Relationship Discovery button.
    The selected elements are displayed with their normally invisible project relationships.

Navigate Link

The IDE offers the Navigate Link button, which lets you navigate a link every time you click the button.

To use the Navigate Link button:

  1. In the Diagram toolbar, click the Navigate Link button Navigate Link button.
  2. Click a link or message.
    The IDE locates the link's destination node, and centers the window around that element.
