You can change the type of an association link.
To draw an association link:
- Use the association link button on the UML Class Diagram Tool Palette to draw association links between diagram elements.
- The Object Inspector enables you to set the link type (association, aggregation, or composition) and the cardinality of the client and supplier.
- You can also set the link type using the right-click menu of the link. When you create an association link, UML modeling defines a field in the client class (the start of the link).
To set the directed property of an association link:
- Choose ViewObject Inspector if the Object Inspector is not open.
- Select a link on the diagram. The properties for the link appear in the Object Inspector.
- In the Object Inspector, select the Directed field.
- Click the drop-down arrow and select the Directed property (True or False) from the list.
