Change the Source or Target Element [EA User Guide]

After you have created a link between two elements, there might come a time when you want to change either the source or target. Instead of deleting and re-creating the link, Enterprise Architect enables you to change the source or target. There are two ways of doing this: using the Set Source and Target dialog or using the mouse.

Using the Set Source and Target dialog

To change the source or target element of a connector using the Set Source and Target dialog, follow the steps below:

1.	Right-click on the connector to open the context menu.

2.	Select the Advanced \| Set Source and Target menu option. The Set Source and Target dialog displays.

3.	Click on the drop-down arrows on the From Element and To Element fields, and select the source and target elements.

4.	Click on the OK button to apply changes.

Using the Mouse

To change the source or target element of a connector using the mouse, follow the steps below:

1.	Press and hold [Shift], then click on or near the end of the connector to change.

2.	Click on the element to attach the connector to.

Alternatively:

1.	Click on the connector and position the cursor over the 'handle' at one end.

2.	When the cursor changes, click the mouse and drag the handle to the new element.
