Modeling makes it easy for you to apply patterns when creating links. To create links during modeling, you can use the Link by Pattern button in the diagram Tool Palette. The Link by Pattern button launches the Pattern Wizard dialog displaying the available patterns.

1. Click the Link by Pattern button in the diagram Tool Palette. The button stays down.
2. Click the source element on the diagram.
3. Drag to the destination element and drop when the second element is highlighted. The Pattern Wizard opens.
4. In the Pattern Wizard window, select the pattern that you want to apply for the new link, define its properties and click Finish.
