Description Steve Blackwell CLA 2011-06-14 10:31:45 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20110519-1138

The deployment diagram palette shows 5 different types of links. The one named Link cannot be created on a deployment diagram.

This may be related to 346613.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to a Papyrus perspective.
2. Create a new Deployment diagram.
3. Create 2 nodes side by side.
4. Select the Link link.
5. Attempt to link the 2 nodes. It is not possible.

This problem still exists in 0.8.0.v201106151827.
Comment 2 Steve Blackwell CLA 2011-06-24 10:24:00 EDT 
Manifestation links also don't work. It is not possible to draw one on a deployment diagram.
Comment 3 Alan CLA 2012-06-27 04:39:20 EDT 
Still present in 0.8.2.v201202150957

Links should be allowed to indicate connections among nodes (e.g. SCSI, TCP/IP, etc...)
Comment 4 Ansgar Radermacher CLA 2013-03-15 09:03:09 EDT 
I can reproduce this behavior 0.10.X.
However, in general a "link" in Papyrus denotes a link between a comment and an element (annotated-element) and works like that for the deployment diagram.

Having said that, the UML standard proposes to use associations for modeling communication paths between nodes and Papyrus does not provide this option. Therefore I changed the title of this bug.

Hello, any update on this bug?

Any news?
Comment 7 Ray Lehtiniemi CLA 2017-01-13 15:16:24 EST 
this seems to work in neon.2

I can create two nodes on a deployment diagram, then use the CommunicationPath item on the Links palette to create a path between them.

the Link item on the Links palette also works to create a link to a Comment (as comment 4 mentioned)
