link class/element atributes with Requirements?

[PY]

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to link an attribute of a given class (from Deployment View Model) with specific Requirements (from Req. Model), as same as you can do it with the class itself.

going a bit further, would be great to have some symbolic names in the Requirements as attributes (by now expressed in my model as tagged values or sub-requirements at Req. Model). these are the attributes I need to link to the attributes of my class from Deployment View.

thanks for any useful in advance,

Best Regards,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

for your first question, you could:

1) Draw an directed Association between the class and the requirement  

2) Set the Target Role to the attribute required

3) Change the type of the Association to the actual relationship you wanted to express (such as Realization)

It's a hack, kludge, grot - but you should end up with a link between the class and the requirement with the name of the appropriate attribute displayed...

HTH,
Paolo
