Showing attributes as associations

In UML visualization, you can show attributes as association relationships in diagrams.

To show an attribute as an association, in the diagram editor, right-click an attribute; then click Filters > Show as Association.

The attribute is removed from the classifier and appears as an association relationship in the diagram.

Tip: You can also drag an attribute outside the classifier to show the attribute as an association.
