Adding existing association classes to a diagarm
« on: December 16, 2008, 01:38:16 am »
Using the command add/related elements in order to populate a class diagram with existing model classes, it seems impossible to view the associations classes automatically.
You have to ask for a "show association class" command in each association context menu. It means that you need to know that such an association class exists,  while generally you use this feature to discover such things.
Maybe someone knows a way to do this ?

So probably there's no way to do this. In fact when you create an association class you've got nothing in the class links. That's certainly the reason why you can't get it with the add/related elements command.
But it's very annoying. Association classes are also not transformed by the transformation process. It probably means that we should avoid their use with EA.

Please send in a bug report - I would certainly expect to see association classes appear on using the Add Related Elements command.
