Link to Element Feature

Hi,

is it possible to link attributes within the same class ?

Thanks,

Michel

Have you tried it?

Edit:
I just did and it doesn't work  :-?

Attributes in a class are linked due to the fact that they are inside the same class. And there they should have different purpose.

Hi Michel,


The context menu item is disabled on self-referencing connectors.

I tried to hack my way around by creating a copy of the class, drawing the connector between them, linking to two different attributes, then moving one end of the connector to refer back to the original class -- no go. The end that was linked to an attribute becomes unlinked.

It might be possible to achieve with a more involved hack which bypasses the GUI and updates the database directly, but I'm thinking that if they've gone to the trouble of implementing the unlink-on-connector-move there's probably a good reason.

Cheers,
