To abort a relation construction press the right mouse button or do a double click with the left mouse button.A line may be broken, during its construction of after clicking on the line with the left mouse button and moving the mouse with themouse button still pushed. To remove a line break, a double click on the point with the left mouse button is enough, or use the line bremenu of the point using the right mouse button.By default the lines go to the center of their extremities, to decenter a line click near the desired extremity and move the mouse clickdown. To come back to a center line, use the menu geometryA right mouse click on a relation in a diagram or a double click with left mouse button calls the following menu (supposing the releditable) :Menu : editTo edit the relationMenu : select labelsTo select the labels (relation's name, stereotypes, role(s) and multiplicity(ies)) associated to the relation. Useful when you are lost aftemany label movings.Menu : labels default positionTo place the labels (relation's name, stereotypes, role(s) and multiplicity(ies)) associated to the relation in the default position. Usefulwhen you are lost after many label movings.By default when you move a class or a relation point break or edit the relation, the associated labels are moved to their default position,this may be irritating. To ask BOUML to not move the associated labels on the relations in a diagram, use the drawing settings of thediagrams.Menu : geometryAllows to choose one of the line geometry or to recenter a decentered line :
