Title: Implement a single interface with all the classes
Post by: anand.tripathi on July 24, 2013, 10:49:20 pm

Hi All,

I need to implement a single interface with all the classes of my package, is there a simple way to do it?

It looks clumsy when all the classes realize a single interface with multiple lines crossing each other on the diagram.

Hello,

if you don't want crossing lines just hide them. Delete and choose hide.

With Ctrl+I you can visualize the implmented interfaces of a class.

Anothe good way is to use a Relationship Matrix. Here you can easily see and change the realisation dependency in a matrix.

Can you provide a sketch of what you're trying to achieve? I can't imagine.

Sorry, but I don't see any option to attach a file in the screen here.How to attach a picture into my post?

It's not straight, unfortunately. You need to upload the picture to some host (your own server or something like imageshack.us). Then you can use the picture link icon (3rd above in the edit toolbar).

I see. Simply remove the interface from the diagram. Then activate Features/Show Realizes from the class context.

Thanks Helmut,

It helped, also Ctrl+I is useful.

But I am wondering, what is a relationship matrix?

Choose View/Relationship Matrix. This opens a matrix where you can manage relations between elements in two different packages. It won't help with diagramming, though.
