Classes, Objects & Class Diagrams

[dimka9]

I am relatively new to EA, please be patient  , there is definately something wrong with HOW I use EA to do a very simple thing :
I have made some class diagramm containing several interface definitions, the relations are not important.. Now, trying to create another class diagramm and show the usage of the interfaces I have defined in the first digramm I do this:  define a new class, which will be the implementor of the interface/s, and dragging the interface definitions from the project view into new diagram to inherit it by implementor class.. But once I drag the thing, it's being instantiated automatically by EA, so that it becomes an object.. I don't need them like objects! I need 'em as is - as class definition. Can't we have the same class seeing in several diagramms? Am I doing something terribly wrong?

When you drag the object from the Project Browser to the diagram, hold the Ctrl key... when you drag the object, a window will appear, asking you whether you want to create new instance of the object or you not... you can also set the default behaviour in Tools > Options > Diagram > Behaviour > Auto Instance.

Hope this helps!
