You can create relationships for overlapping objects. For this to work, the Create implicit connections for overlapping objects check box must be enabled (ARIS > Options, option Model > General > Objects).
Thus, whenever you overlap objects that can be linked by connections based on the current method, the Create relationship dialog opens, regardless of whether a relationship already exists between the two objects. The relationships that exist as connections between the objects are indicated by the enabled Connection occurrence check box.
You can specify that existing connections become implicit connections.The relationships still exist, but the connection occurrences are no longer displayed graphically when the Create relationship dialog closes.
You can specify that existing connections continue to be displayed.
If you move an object that contains other objects, these are also moved.
If you drag an object from an object connected by implicit connections onto the model background, the implicit connections are converted into "normal" connections, that is, visually represented by their connection occurrence.
