Wrong link direction when manually created
« on: June 16, 2005, 07:15:13 am »
I have a model containing 2 sets of activities, one with standard stereotype <<process>> and one with custom stereotype <<purpose>>. I select a <<process>> in the navigator and open the 'Create link' window.  
In the window I select an outgoing Realisation link to a <<purpose>>. When I later view the link in a diagram the relation is created the wrong way around and must be explicitly reversed.
Running build 767. Also seen with Association link between Object & Entity.

You're right Jan!
I can confirm both behaviours!  Submit a formal bug request if you haven't already.

Also, did you notice the two realizations are created differently?  Shades of Animal Farm!  (All realizations are equal but some are more equal than others! ::))

BTW: in confirming you observed behaviour I noticed two other anomalies which I'll report separately.

Received word today from Neil Capey that it will be fixed in build 768. Good.
