Attaching a File to a Model Object

You can attach file objects to other model objects through traceability links.

  • Right-click an object symbol in the diagram and select Edit > File > Add File.

  • Use the Link/Traceability Link tool in the toolbox to draw a link from the object symbol to the file object symbol.

  • Select the Traceability Links tab of the object property sheet, click the Add Objects tool, select the file, and click OK (see Creating Traceability Links).

The connection between the object and the file object takes the form of a traceability link, and is visible:
  • In the form of a link in the diagram.

  • On the Dependencies tab of the file object property sheet and on the Traceability Links tab of the dependent object property sheet.

  • Under the File command in the contextual menu of the dependent object symbol.
