Anchoring annotations

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

  1. Click the Anchor button on Diagram Tools.
  2. Click an edge of the annotation.
  3. 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.
