Attributes/Operations for Use Cases

[thomaskilian]

By coincidence I found out that Use Cases, when placed in a diagram, have a context menu entry Features and thereunder Attributes/Operations (not available in the Project View, though that is another UI topic ). F9/F10 are also available (sic!). Now my simple question: what is the meaning of Attributes/Operations for a Use Case

Thomas,

I think you'll find there is no such beast as an Attribute or Operation (Features) of a UseCase.  It's just part of EA's UI (Unique Interface)

I wouldn't use them.  On the other hand, I would use the same functionality for the Association Lozenge (which is in line with my assertion that the Lozenge is the AssociationClass.

Funny, there is nothing with the lozenge Maybe they mixed something up at Sparx?

Sorry,  I was playing around with things in the background DB.  I changed the Lozenge to a Class ionising the Element menu.  This gave me access to the Features.  I then reset the t_object type back to Association.

Disregard my comments...  (except to note that the Features are preserved....)

sssshhh!  leave them there.  I use them for secret tester's business (i.e. not for UML)
