Hello,
Cade's Component Diagrams are wrong on this particular point.
A component (A) must be diagrammed with a "link" or "realization" line to one or more of its interfaces (circle); usually this is a solid line without an arrow. TogetherSoft supports these constructs correctly. You can't do what Cade did because its wrong.
Components (B) that
use another component (A) are "dependant" on A's interface; they show a dashed line with an arrow pointing to the interface of (A). See page 157 The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, 1999 for example.
