Create Use Case for Method
The code editor context menu enables you to create a Use Case element for a method that you select from the code.
You can also:
| • | Link the Use Case directly to the method |
| • | Add the parent Class to a diagram (if it is not already in the selected diagram) and/or add the Use Case element to the diagram |
| • | Block from display any attributes or methods that are not also the targets of feature links |
