Title: Custom Association
Post by: mcottle on September 09, 2010, 11:10:18 am
Forgive me if this is an easy thing because I'm new here.  I've looked in the help, fiddled with all the menus that look reasonable & done a search on the forum.

What I want to do is this:

I am creating a lot of associations on a class diagram.  For reasons of clarity I am using custom stereotypes and colour to distinguish them.  so, I have three different types of association that I am using all of the time.  At the moment I have to drag between classes, open up the properties, set the arrow type & stereotype then OK that & change the colour which is a pain.  Is there any way of creating a custom association in the toolbox for this project (or even better globally) where I can set these properties up & just select the right association & drag between classes.  I've seen the scripting examples but that looks like overkill, all I want is a standard association with the Direction, Stereotype & Line colour preset.

Thanks Geert - that's exactly what I'm looking for.
