Creating Correlations Between Elements

1 Click the relationship's tool in the toolbox.

2 Point to the client icon on the diagram.

3 Press and hold the left mouse button.

4 Drag the pointer to the supplier icon on the diagram.

• You can create vertices by releasing the mouse button while still on the diagram. A new vertex is created each time you lift the mouse button.
• You can modify a vertex by dragging on a selected vertex.
• Joining an inherits relationship to another inherits relationship will create a tree, rather than a hierarchical structure.

5 Release the mouse button at the supplier element.

Rational Rose inserts and selects the relationship, deselecting any other icons. Moving the relationship or class element(s) automatically adjusts the size or vertices as necessary.
