Showing and hiding relationships

You can update an open class diagram or selected classifiers by showing or hiding relationships that match your selected criteria.

Relationships must already exist between Java™ classes or interfaces before you can show or hide relationships.
Note: Hiding relationships removes the connectors from the diagram only. The underlying semantic relationships remain intact.
To show or hide relationships:
  1. In the diagram editor, select and right-click Java elements; then click Show/Hide Relationships.
    Tip: It is not necessary to select any Java elements if you want to show the relationships between all the elements in the diagram.
  2. In the Show/Hide Relationships window, select the types of relationships to show or hide.
  3. Click OK.
