Title: Connector Typed by an Association
Post by: Miguel on May 25, 2020, 08:37:34 am

Hi everyone... I  hope someone is able to help with this one...  SysML work.  EA15.1 build 1528.

I have the following BDD:

with a "Bar" association ;-)

On the IBD, I create a connector:

But it is untyped, and there doesn't seem to be a way to specify the association model element for the type ("Type" is not selectable in Properties, and I can't find a way to do it elsewhere):

What I'm trying to do is have the connector typed by the association that is already defined, like this (which I did with Paint):

Any hints?  Thanks in advance.

Select the Connector and press Ctrl+L

Haha... that worked!  Thank you.  Is there some sequence of menu options that relate to CTRL-L?  It just seems like an impossibility that I could have discovered this without your help.

Thanks, KP, and thanks for the quick response, as well.

In the version I'm using, it's right-click | Advanced | Set Connector Type. I can't find it in the Properties dialog or the ribbon.
