Disabling display of association constraints

[frank]

It seems that in build 581 (and perhaps previous builds) label the names o0f constraints on associations are displayed even when the diagram properties are set not to show constraints.  If you have a few of those, the diagram becomes unreadable pretty quickly.

If I turn off labels, then the constraints disappear but so does the name of the association.  Also not good.

How can I display the name of the association but not the names of constraints on the associations?

(If this cannot be done, I'll have to stop putting constraints on associations and document them in one of the classes instead.  That's a second best kind of a solution.)

Thjis problem appears to be more complex than I first stated.  One one association in my model the constraint is a bottom middle label and the name is a top middle label.  There I can easily turn off one and keep the other.

On another, one constraint name and the association name are both in the top middle label, so I can only turn them on and off together.

Help!

Frank,

I will add in an option in the View/Options/DIagram page to suppress link constraints. THis option will apply to the current user and all diagrams ... so you can effectively turn off seeing constraints for all diagrams in one hit.

The constraint label is shared by the stereotype - so just turning off the particular label using Set Label Visibility may cause unwanted side effects. I will consider adding a per diagram and/or per link option for hiding information.

I think that for my own use, per diagram would be most used.  On some diagrams I might want to show constraints, on others certainly not.

In the meantime, thanks for the global setting.
