Hi!
I have modeled a system hierarchically with parts using UAF.

Each component has parts and the main system element re-use/inherit all the parts so one can browse the hierarchy of the system from the main element in the project browser.

What I have a problem dealing with is relationships. We don't always want a relation between to classifiers, since it some times are too general and simply not true. In those cases we make the connectors between the part-elements which are embedded in parts/IBDs.
The problem we're experiencing is that these connectors between part-elements is not inherited.
We build views for certain aspects of the functionality the system provide. Let's say text-based communication, the system covers both user client and server side hard- and software. The chat-view is supposed to show what parts provides for the chat and how they internally relates.
The view is simple to build with the Features & Properties tab, and insert elements from Parts/Properties. The problem with these inherited parts are, as I mentioned earlier, that no connectors/relationships are inherited.
Is this a bug or the way it supposed to be? How do we re-use relationships on re-used parts?
Hopefully you will understand my problem, otherwise I can provide snippets of diagrams/traceability-tab/project browser/...
Thank you in advance!
