Adding a use case figure

The next step is to add a use case figure to the diagram. Because we have already created several use cases, this time we only need to add a figure, which we can then attach to an existing model element.

  1. Select Use case icon Use Case from the tool bar.
  2. Click mouse button 1 to place the figure within the system figure.

    Because it is not yet associated with an actual use case, the use case figure is labeled with a question mark.

  3. Select Attach from the pop-up menu of the use case figure. A window appears listing the available use cases in the model.
  4. Select Adding a new book to the catalog from the list.
  5. Select OK.

The use case figure is now attached to the underlying use case and is labeled appropriately.
