You can anchor a constraint, comment, requirement, or note
to one or more graphical objects that represent modeling concepts
(classes, use cases, and so on). You can also anchor annotations to
edge elements.
About this task
Although it is possible to anchor a requirement
to an element, it is better to model it as a dependency. Anchors are
shown as dashed lines.
Procedure
- Click the Anchor button on Diagram Tools.
- Click an edge of the annotation.
- Move the cursor to the edge of the model
element to which you want to anchor the annotation, then click to
confirm.
Results
To change the line style of an anchor, right-click
the anchor line and select the appropriate option from the Line
Shape menu.
Note the following information:
- There is only one anchor between a specific annotation
and a given model element.
- An annotation can be anchored to more than one
element.
