Error description

  • SA does not allow to move an this particular association line.

    does not let to reposition the line.
    To  align vertically is not possible.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The Class diagram in question appears to be quite unusual, which
     likely stems from it being created by copy-and-paste.
    
    "Unusual" means that the diagram in its current state appears to
    violate various methodology rules. It is unlikely that the
    client would be able to start a brand new Class diagram from
    scratch and draw an identical version without resorting to
    copy-and-paste.
    

Problem conclusion

  • What's going on when the user attempts to shift the position of
    the problem Association line is that SA runs a quick test for
    methodology violations and in fact finds two. However, neither
    of the two violations concern the line being worked on. Instead,
     the violations concern two other lines named "requires" and
    "dependencies".
    
    The client can fix the problem by deleting the two problem lines
    and then redrawing them. After that, he should be able to
    perform the shift he desires.
    

Temporary fix

  • The problem Association line is OK as-is. Instead delete and
    redraw two other Associaltion lines that currently violate
    methodology rules.
