To create a universal quantification constraint


  1. Drag and drop a property to be redefined (e.g., has from Person) onto a redefining property (e.g., has from Dog Lover).

    Note
    titleNote
    • The property is owned by the class at the opposite end of the association.
    • The target can have the same name as the source, or can be unnamed.
    • The newly redefined property's multiplicity is adjusted to conform to the multiplicity of the dragged, redefined property.

To remove a universal quantification constraintcreate an existential quantification constraint


  1. Drag and drop a property you want to subset (e.g., has from Person) onto the cardinality of the property that will subset another property (e.g., unnamed from Dog Caretaker).

    Note
    titleNote
    • The target can have the same name as the source, or can be unnamed.
    • The resulting subsetting property’s multiplicity is adjusted to conform to the dragged, subsetted property, and to have a minimum cardinality of at least one.
