This is valid for the following UML relationships:

  • Association
  • Composition
  • Aggregation
  • Association Class


Show/Hide Labels


UML relationships have three visible properties:

  • End Names
  • Multiplicities
  • Association Names (hidden by default)


Each of these properties can be hidden separately or together.



Right-click on the association to display the right-click menu and place the cursor on the Show/Hide labels, then select the needed option - All, End Names, Multiplicities, Association Name.



You can also show/hide each label individually. Right-click on the label and select Hide.



Warning : Clearing association end names will invalidate your model and result in code generation error
