Hello,
I am new to EA and have a question on how to get classes to show "connections" (dependency, association, etc.) to other packages. For example, lets say we have a very simple class, classA, containing a name attribute then its associated to another class, classB, and lets name this association by the name "linka". In a single class diagram I see the class, with the name attribute, along with linka to classB - everything is great. Now due to size and complexity of the diagram I need to move classB into a different package, package2. Now my diagram has two packages, package1 with class A and package2 with classB but there is no visual information anywhere that these two classes are "connected" together.
I built a class diagram last week with lots of classes and then reorganized it into logical "sub-system" packages and during a presentation, stepping through each package slide, I realized that some of these links do not show up anywhere, so it looked like links were missing; the only way I can tell, of knowing about them, is to dive into the properties of each class or copy the classes into the same diagram. I was hoping there would be an option to show "package external links" or have the class add additional attributes listing the external references but I cannot find anything like this in EA or when googling. This seems like such a basic requirement for a system like EA that I must be googling the wrong term or something.
Can anyone help me out with this.
Thanks,
Paul
