View constraints of use case
« on: June 14, 2004, 10:31:38 am »
I can add constraints to a use case with the use case properties dialog, but I can't find a way to have those constraints displayed in the use case model.  

According to the EA docs, Element Features -> Specify Feature Visibility... Show Element Compartments [] Constraints should do it.  Also tried Show Constraints in the diagram properties, with no success.

This does work for other types -- classes, objects -- just not for use cases.  I wrote to sparx support and haven't heard anything back.  Is this a known defect or is it operator error?

You have to switch to rectangle notation, for displaying constraints of use case.
Use right click on the use case and choose Use Rectangle Notation.

To display a constraint in a use case, you can use the following steps:
°      Select the element that you wish to display the constraint
°      Right Click the element to bring up its context menu
°      Mouse over the attach option and select the attach constraint option
°      Type in the constraint

Hope that helps

Thanks Kamil -- using rectangle notation does the trick.
