An Association Class Link in UML is a structural element that connects an Association Class to an Association. It's used when you need to add attributes or operations to an Association itself. In Modeldraw, you can use Association Class Links to represent complex relationships between Classes that have their own properties or behaviors.
An Association Class Link represents the connection between an Association and an Association Class. Key characteristics include:
It links an Association Class to a specific Association between two Classes
The Association Class describes attributes or behaviors of the relationship itself
It allows for representing more complex relationships that have their own properties
An Association Class Link is represented in UML by a dashed line connecting the Association Class to the Association line.
To create an Association Class Link in Modeldraw:
First, create the Association between two Classes (e.g., Student and Course)
Create an Association Class (e.g., Enrollment)
Select the Association Class Link tool from the toolbox
Click on the Association Class
Move above and click the Association line
