Instant reverse dependencies between classes in visual paradigm


I would like to reverse dependencies between my java classes using visual paradigm.

Is there any way to do it ? Or any other UML modeling tool that could achieve that ?

Solution

  • First you do not want to 'reverse' the dependencies from sources but to have them produced in addition during/after the reverse, I mean a dependency is not an element present in the sources like a class.

    "use" can signify a lot of things, like somewhere in Client the class Supplier is used to type an attribute and/or the return value or parameter(s) of operation(s) and/or or inside the definitions of an operation etc.

    For me you have to add them by hand or helped by the tool when it is necessary, I mean to have a dependency in all the cases is just a way to have plenty of dependencies creating a spider web / noodle dish, you must not do that.

    Referring to Visualize the Dependencies between Elements on the class Client call the menu and choose the entry related element > analysis enter image description here

    then use the toggles to select the kind of 'use' you want enter image description here
