Check that instance diagrams match class diagrams?

[Barrie Treloar]

I have a class diagram showing associations, multiplicity, etc.

I then want to detail a scenario by creating instances of these classes. Sparx is not enforcing any of the meta-model I created, i.e. it allows me to create a "link" from an instance to any instance when what I expect is that if the meta-model does not have an association between the two classes that it would be an error to create an association between the two instances.

Am I trying to do something Sparx doesn't support?

No, I don't think Sparx has an out-of-the-box feature that validates you instance model against your class model.

But it has a scripting module, and it seems quite easy to write a script that does that for you.
