How to link note to connector metadata
« on: June 07, 2005, 07:06:56 pm »
I've created some information in the Notes section of an (aggregate) association.  I want to display it on the diagram.

No problem... I'll use the link note to element feature functionality. 8)

1) Create Note
2) Link Note to association
??? won't link?
I've done it before how did I do it?
Ah... yes, right click on association and use "attach note or constraint"  Why is it different?  Never mind, reported enough bugs already today (and it's only 9:30)
Note created, note link visible...

Now to attach the note text to the Notes feature (like I've done many times now).

Select note link...
???  Won't select.

Anybody know how to link a note to an association feature? - because it's NOT obvious to me.

Sorry, Thomas, I'm no further enlightened....  I can attach the note to the connector (see original post), what I CAN'T do (as far as I can see) is attach the note to the connector feature - like with a shape.  If you know how to do that can you give this poor old modeller the instructions on how to do it?

Thanx,
Paolo

Funny that...   ;D

I used to complain about the UI features of a product for which I was Test Manager.   My suggestions were rejected.  When the user refused to pay the multiple-millions for the product (since they considered it substantially unusable), there was a mad scramble for my prior defect reports. :)

Anyway, can we have this functionality soon please, Sparxians?
