What is a Connector?
A connector is a logical or functional relationship between model elements. There are several different connector types, each having a particular purpose and syntax. Enterprise Architect supports all of the UML connectors as well as some custom ones of its own. Together with the UML Elements, these form the basis of UML models.
For more information on using these connectors, consult the appropriate topic by clicking on the required connector icon in the table below.
