Create relationships or assign property values by dragging and dropping one element onto another right in the diagram pane. There are a number of predefined rules to create relationships or assign property values automatically. You may also set up your own drag-and-drop specifications between any elements. To select a rule
- Do one of the following:
- Drag a selected element onto another, hold it for a few seconds and then release it. A shortcut menu is displayed.
- Right-click an element and drag it onto another (This action is valid only for Windows operating system users). A shortcut menu is displayed.
- From the shortcut menu, select one of the rules you want to apply.
The following table lists the predefined drag-and-drop rules. These rules define the possible results when dragging the source element on the target element.
