Creating a Link with Bending Points 

If your diagram is densely populated, you can draw bent links between the source and target elements to avoid other elements that are in the way. 

Creating Multiple Elements 

You can place several elements of the same type on a diagram without returning to the Tool Palette or by using the diagram context menu. Each element will have a default name that can be edited with the in-place editor or in the Object Inspector. 

Creating a Shortcut 

You can create a shortcut to a model element on the diagram background by using three methods:

• By opening Add Shortcuts dialog box from the Diagram View
• By copying and pasting a shortcut from the Model View
• By choosing Add Shortcuts on the Model View context menu

 

Creating a Simple Link 

In a design project, you can create a link to another node, or a shortcut of an element of the same or another design project (these projects must be of the same UML version).
In an implementation project, you can create a link to another node or a shortcut of an element of the same project.
