Reflexive relationship - Can't pin ends
« on: August 22, 2016, 10:03:43 am »
If you have a relationship between two different elements, you can pin the ends using any of the available types.

However, if you drag t it over to the same element (making it a reflexive relationship), then (even though it appears to retain the line type) you can't pin the ends.  The options are disabled (even for "Custom Line" line type).

I see no rationale for this.

But, as far as I can tell, there's little or no enlightenment.  :(

I'm advised (by Sparx) that pinning ends for reflexive relationships is not currently supported.  A feature request has been submitted on my behalf.

Please support this by submitting feature requests.  (Don't have an ID - so use title...)
