Cannot create new relationships via Relationship Matrix
« on: February 08, 2020, 02:19:29 am »
In a Relationship Matrix I have a source package and a target package selected, and for both a type (Class and ApplicationComponent, respectively). Link Type = "Dependency" and direction = "Both".

Right-click on a cell and choosing "Create new relationship > Source to Target" (or "Target to Source"). However: no possible relationship types are shown, nothing happens. Why?

When I e.g. select "Association" at Link type, I can select from some association types. So some Link Types would work, other not.

When I put some elements of both types on a diagram, and I switch to Relation Matrix View, I can edit the relationships without problem.

Solution: I performed a Project Integrity Check and found problematic relations. After I recovered/cleaned them, I could add relationships via the Relationship Matrix.

Proejct Integrity Check is your best Sparx friend.

If there are integrity errors, "All bets are off"!  Perform it regularly.
