Classifier Instance references and simple links.
« on: May 13, 2010, 02:08:00 am »
When you reference a classifier using a simple link from a class diagram all of the operations are shown.
When you use an instance of the classifier none of the operations are shown (even the public ones).
It is possible to see what operations a class instance has using "right mouse click " Operations from the diagram, but nor the project browser!
Is it possible, though, to get the instance to display the public operations and properties?
Currently, becuase of this engineers have been using "simple links" to reference classifiers from other packages within the model, but due to its size these sometimes do not display on diagrams, whereas using instances of them does.

Ah I think that I've found how to do this.

You set the "Feature Visibility" to display inherited Operations and Attributes.

Is it possible to set this by default?

I you can't find that option in the tools/options then you can try to set the default using the template package.
