Linking Diagram Objects to Diagrams

Describe™ allows you to associate diagram objects with other diagrams within a system. This is an excellent way to create a comprehensive documentation chain. You have already seen how to link diagram objects with external documentation. In this section I will show you how to link a use case with a sequence diagram.

To associate a diagram object with another diagram, right click on the diagram object, click Associated Diagrams, and choose from the list of system diagrams to complete the association. Figure 20-30 shows the Create New RobotRat use case being associated with the Create New RobotRat sequence diagram.

When a diagram object has been linked to a system diagram, the linked diagram can be viewed by double clicking the diagram object. For example, to view the diagram or diagrams linked to the Create New RobotRat use case, double click the Create New RobotRat use case. This will display a dialog as shown in figure 20-31.
