Display association as attribute

[IritP]

Hello,

I have 2 classes (A, B) and I add direct association between them (A->B).
In a diagram I add A.
I want to see that A has an attribute of type B (without adding B to the diagram).
According to UML2.0 this feature is mentioned...

Until the AssociationEnd is named, there is no Attribute under UML 2.x.

Unfortunately, EA (806) still does not automatically support a Named AssociationEnd as an Attribute.

You have to do it manually.

Hi Irit,

It is better to add the attribute first and then it will appear in the source/target (as appropriate) dropdown when you open the Association Properties.
