Specifying relationships in modeling diagrams

In UML modeling, you use relationships to identify the semantic ties that exist between the elements in a model. When you add relationships to a model, you must work in the diagram editor and add relationships as connectors between the elements in your diagram. You cannot specify relationships in the Model Explorer view.

Before you can add relationships to a diagram, you must have a diagram open in the diagram editor.
To add a relationship to a diagram:
  1. In the Palette, click a type of relationship.
  2. In the diagram editor, click a classifier and drag the cursor to another classifier.
