I needed to show pre- and post-conditions for use cases on a diagram and thought it would be neat to use the Link to Element Feature. But this raised two issues:

I needed to show pre- and post-conditions for use cases on a diagram and thought it would be neat to use the Link to Element Feature. But this raised two issues:
  • The notes don't seem to show which kind (pre/post/invariant/OCL) the selected constraints are. Any way to show them except adding an additional manual note?
  • Right after the constraint text EA renders a colon. What is the rationale for this?

You know you're in trouble when you use the word "rationale" and EAUI...   ;)

When I create a pre-/post-condition from the Common toolbar the type is shown a stereotype. Why isn't this done when using the linked feature?? Probably another EAUI.

It renders a colon between the constraint name and full text.

Ah. Makes sense (stupid me). So there's just the constraint type question left open.
