Title: Making multiplicity values visible on Dependency
Post by: doneill on September 14, 2012, 04:13:53 am

All,
      
Is it possible to make the multiplicity values visible on a dependency relationship?  

I'm new to EA and building and OV-4 with the UPMD profile.  I've defined multiplicity values for a Command relationship which I believe is a stereotyped Dependency relationship.  However, I can’t get the values to show on the diagram.

Thanks in advance!

Technically speaking a dependency doesn't have multiplicity, so there is no UML defined notation for displaying it.

Command is a stereotyped InformationFlow, and they don't display multiplicity either. However, they can be realized by an Association (e.g. in UPDM, a ResourceInterface or ResourceConnector) and Associations do have multiplicities. Look up InformationFlow in the EA help file for more information.
