This example uses a Class element with the stereotype «quick». When you drag a quick link away from one of these elements, you want to create a dependency either to or from a component element. When you drag a quick link onto an existing Port or component element, you want a dependency either to or from the component or, in the case of a component, you want to be able to create an embedded Port element.
This results in 8 records in the Quick Linker definition file.
| 1. | Dependency to new Component |
| 2. | Dependency from new Component |
| 3. | Dependency to existing Component |
| 4. | Dependency from existing Component |
| 5. | Dependency to existing Port |
| 6. | Dependency from existing Port |
| 7. | Dependency to existing Component, create new Port |
| 8. | Dependency from existing Component, create new Port |
In the spreadsheet, this is implemented by the following values:
This saves to the following CSV:
Class,quick,,,,Component,,Dependency,,to,,Dependency to,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Component,0,,,,,
Class,quick,,,,Component,,Dependency,,from,,Dependency from,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Component,0,,,TRUE,,
Class,quick,Component,,,,,Dependency,,to,Dependency to,,TRUE,,TRUE,TRUE,,0,,,,,
Class,quick,Component,,,,,Dependency,,from,Dependency from,,TRUE,,TRUE,TRUE,,0,,,TRUE,,
Class,quick,Port,,,,,Dependency,,to,Dependency to,,TRUE,,TRUE,TRUE,,0,,,,,
Class,quick,Port,,,,,Dependency,,from,Dependency from,,TRUE,,TRUE,TRUE,,0,,,TRUE,,
Class,quick,Component,,,Port,,Dependency,,to,,Dependency to,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Port,0,,TRUE,,,
Class,quick,Component,,,Port,,Dependency,,from,,Dependency from,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Port,0,,TRUE,TRUE,,
You can create the following profile and cut and paste the CSV data into the document artifact to test the effect:
