I am new to UML and need small suggestion. I am working on small project and my class diagram got some complex relationships. I am using RSA(IBM product) for UML diagrams.
I am stuck at one place, i tired very hard not to show any relationship with cross over lines, here i mean one line cover over another line in relationship between classes, as i find there are few common classes used in most of all classes.
So in my question is will that be ok in class diagram showing relationship with cross over lines..I tired showing in the example. Imagine i dont have any option besides crossing association, So i just wanted to check, is it ok or it is aganist UML diagrams.
I already spent couple of hours to rearrange classes, but everytime one/two classes i need to cross lines.
In total of approx 28 classes, only 2 or 3 are like this.
Line crossing can't be avoided.
btw, You could try to customize the link by adding a color or changing link thickness in order to make a differentiation between crossing lines.
It could help to add more specific information inside the diagram.
But quick question, how do i draw this line-hop in class diagram. I dont see any option like that to do the same. Is there is any trick or special way of doing it ?
