In composite structure diagrams, you can add connectors to parts
and ports to link two or more instances and to show the communication between
roles in a containing classifier. You can connect two internal parts or ports
with an assembly connector, or you can connect a port on the external structure
compartment to an internal part or port by using a delegate connector.
You must have a composite structure diagram open that contains compatible
parts and ports.
To connect a part and a port in a composite structure diagram:
- In the Palette, click Connector.
- In the diagram editor, complete one of the following steps:
- To create a delegate connector, click a port on the external boundary
of the composite structure diagram and drag the cursor to a compatible port
on the border of the structure compartment or inside the shape compartment.
- To create an assembly connector, click a part or a port in the structure
compartment and drag the cursor to another compatible part or port in the
same compartment.
