Showing attributes as relationships in UML Class diagrams

Question

How can I show a attribute as a relationship in UML? If I use an association I don't get all the properties that attributes have.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paulo.

Thanks for using the beta.  We appreciate the time required to post the feedback.

We don't have a way to show attributes as relationships.  It's a good idea.  I'll add it to our backlog.

I'm a little surprised by your comment about not having the same properties for associations as attributes.  I'm wondering if you need to expand the subproperties of ends - the First Role and Second Role properties.


Thanks.
Phil
