Creating an association class link
Creating an Association Class Link between a Class and an Association makes the linked Class an Association Class. Through the Association Class you can describe properties of the Association.
When you add an Association Class Link from a Class and an Association, you can navigate from the Class to the Association through the Property Pages - on the Class' Property Pages, click the Items tab, and then from the drop-down list select Linked Association.
