How to Generate Dependency (uses) Link in RE
« on: May 03, 2007, 05:53:59 am »
Hello All,

I reverse engineered C++ source and created a project in the EA.  The class diagrams does not show the dependency-links.

What I mean by dependency is: Lets say Class A uses (not aggregation, not composition, not inheritance) Class B (so A.h includes B.h), now in the class diagram when reverse engineered, I want to see a link from A to B (dependency-link).  How cn it be done?

I have spent quite a good time reading help and try setting different configuration properties before I reverse engineered, but all my efforts were in vain.

I would really appreciate any help and direction.
Thank you.

You can get dependencies from the operation signatures by checking Tools | Options | Source Code Engineering | Create dependencies for operation returns and parameter types.

Dependencies for types used for the implementation of operations are not available at all in reverse engineering.
