Hi,
I think what you are requesting is an Object Diagram. In the UML
1.3-standard, this diagram-type is described as follows:
--- quote ----
An object diagram is a graph of instances, including objects and data
values. A static
object diagram is an instance of a class diagram; it shows a snapshot of the
detailed
state of a system at a point in time. The use of object diagrams is fairly
limited, mainly
to show examples of data structures.
Tools need not support a separate format for object diagrams. Class diagrams
can
contain objects, so a class diagram with objects and no classes is an
"object diagram."
The phrase is useful, however, to characterize a particular usage achievable
in various
ways.
--- unquote ----
I.e. a diagram showing instances of classes at a certain stage/state in your
application lifecycle.
As far as I can see, this is a diagram not supported by Rose. Neither is the
entity "Object" (instatance of a class) included as a symbol, except from in
the sequence diagram.
However, as the UML-spec states, it is not a very much used diagram type.
Regards
Arne
