Instance of Object but no Link to Class v10.0.1004

[carlclarke]

I am scratching my head here. If I drag and drop a class onto a sequence diagram in V9x it is a link. If I do the same in v10 it is an instance of an object. Tools->Options->Diagram->Behaviour Auto Instance is unchecked for both versions. Holding Ctrl down during a drag and drop beings up a dialog in v9x and nothing in v10. Can anyone else confirm or deny the behaviour??

Regards.

Checked a few mores times and it is still puzzling me but I would if someone can confirm the same behaviour before I raise a bug.

Probably worth raising a bug report, but I'm curious to know why you want to put a class lifeline on a sequence diagram? The only reason I can think of is if you are calling a static method on a class.

To undo this you have to ctrl-drag a class to a Class Diagram (not a sequence diagram) and then choose the default behavior.
Then you can drag classes onto sequence diagrams again (without creating instances)

PS. Sometimes the reason to do this is simply because "they told us so". At my client the current methodology dictates that we create SD's with classes iso object. I know its better to use objects, but I'm not willing to change tens of thousands of SD's just because of that
