The thing you can see in the class is really the role that is being played by the class at the other end of the relationship. The UML differs from the way languages like Java and C++ work - in the sense that most people expect what you have suggested - the attribute in the class. UML is not a language to write code - but a language to express concepts that can be turned into code (otherwise it would be yet another programming language :-). > Is there a way to manually convert the associations to > attributes in Rose? > When I double click on these, the dialogue box is a "Field > Specification". > However, when I view the class standard specification dialogue, these > "fields" are only present under the "Relations" tab. I see someone has already kindly posted a script to help you do this. regards anthony ************************************************************************ * Rose Forum is a public venue for ideas and discussions. * For technical support, visit http://www.rational.com/support * * Admin.Subscription Requests: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Archive of messages: http://www.rational.com/products/rose/usergroups/rose_forum.jtmpl * Other Requests: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To unsubscribe from the list, please send email * * To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Subject:<BLANK> * Body: unsubscribe rose_forum * *************************************************************************
