Title: Connector-Connector links - Help?
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on June 09, 2016, 09:48:19 am

The new V13 Connector to Connector and Connector to Element links are of great interest to us.  However, when I follow the links from the http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/13/ page (Read More Here) - I get directed to the Tools | Options | Links help page on which there doesn't appear to be any mention of this new feature.

Where can I found out more about this feature?  Are there changes to the QuickLinker as a consequence?

TIA,
Paolo

Don't think it's made it into the help at the moment.

Aside from additional entries in the built-in quicklinker that use the feature, you can specify a source or target type of link:<connector-type>.

eg.
link:Association,,link:Association,,,link:Association,,Substitution,,to,Substitution,Substitution,TRUE,FALSE,,,,0,,,,,

Where do I find the Vitualized Connector option? I tried the steps in the user guide but it doesn't appear on the connector context menu where it should be?

I can't see why it shouldn't be there. Is the connector line style set to Custom? What type of connector are you right-clicking on?

This is MOST important, theunsfo, - it ONLY works with Custom Line style...

Read Roy's help...
