In your UML model, you can link a model element to an
external file, such as a Microsoft® Word
document or a graphic file. This link is useful if you want to provide
more information about a model element.
To link model element to an external file:
- In the Model Explorer view,
right-click a model element; and then click Add UML >
URL.
- In the URL Input Dialog window,
specify the file or URL that you want to link to the model element.
- (Optional) To ensure that the external file is accessible
in a team environment, select the Use relative path representation check
box.
- Click OK.
Tip: To open the linked file, in the Model
Explorer view, double-click the URL.
