Connector
A Connector specifies links that enable communication between two or more instances. This is in contrast to Associations, which specify that any instance of associated Classifiers can have a connection.
A Connector option exists on the Draw menu which supports drawing of a line in a single action. This action is described in Line Wizard.
A Connector Node and Lines option exists on the Draw menu which supports drawing of a line in a single action. This action is described in Line Wizard for lines with Central node symbols.
To manually create a Connection and separate lines to the two Properties, perform these steps:
1 Create a ConnectorNode.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
2 Create a ConnectorProperty to Connector relationship between a Property and the ConnectorNode. When the relationship to the ConnectorNode symbol is created, the ConnectorNode symbol is turned invisible.
3 Create a Connector to ConnectableElement relationship line between the ConnectorNode and a Property. The definition of this line is a ConnectorEnd.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
