Drop Elements onto Connectors
A number of scenarios are supported, that allow you to drag elements, either existing elements from the Browser window or new elements from the diagram toolbox, and drop them onto connectors on a diagram.
In the general case, the dragged element is inserted into the middle of the connector, provided that the result is UML compliant. There is also a number of specific scenarios that are detailed in the table below.
