Why is realization not in Class pane?

[mschipperheyn]

The Class Pane doesn't have the realize function. You need to go to Custom to find it. Seems totally illogical. Creating interfaces and class implementations is just about the most common function in a class diagram, isn't it?

Weird (and annoying).

Hi Marc

If I understand your complaint correctly, it is that you can't see the Realize connector in the UML toolbox in the class pane? If that is the case, try scrolling down in the toolbox or make your EA window bigger. I think you will find the Realize connector further down.

If the scrolling also annoys you, your can take advantage of EA's highly customizable user interface and select another setup for the toolbox in the drop down list at the top of the toolbox. Or you can even set up your own settings! Read how in the user manual:

Thanks, in fact the realization connector is not present in the class pane in the default installation of EA. When I changed the display layout to ICONIX, it became available. IMHO this is a bug.

Kind regards,

The connector is there, but you have to scroll down to see it. It is a bit difficult to see that the toolbox is scrollable. You have to use the little arrows in the pane.

Interestingly on that point - if I go from 'maximised' (with enough v-pixels to see the whole list and, therefore, arrows greyed-out) then to 'restored' (without enough v-pixels to see the full list) then the little arrows don't enable again - one has to switch to another list and back to get the arrows to enable!
