Linked model elements

[Damo]

For the life of me I stupidly cannot figure out how to link from one model element to another, for example the use case models provided as examples by EA have an infinity sign or pair of glasses on them which when double clicked take you to the underlying diagram, such as a sequence diagram.

I cannot find anywhere how to do this or what to search for in terms of looking up the help.  Hyperlinks do not seem to be the correct search so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me please.

Many thanks

Damo,

Here is what I have found....

If I add a use case to a diagram, then right-click on it and choose "Advanced...Make Composite" from the pop-up menu, EA creates a use case diagram below it in the model and links to that diagram.  When I want to associate a different kind of diagram (e.g., a sequence diagram) linked to a use case I add a use case to a diagram, then create the sequence diagram (I right-click on the use case in the model and choose "Add...Sequence Diagram"), then right-click on the use case in the diagram and choose the "Advanced...Make Composite" option again.  EA associates the use case with the sequence diagram (or whatever diagram is there) if the use case is not already linked to another diagram.  I haven't figured out if it is possible to link a use case to two diagrams.....

There is an EA help topic on the subject: "Composite Elements."
