Links are attached to the objects that they connect. In diagrams, links behave as lines. You can modify their shape or their appearance, for example.
For further details, see Lines in a Diagram.Moving a link text
For certain links, text zones can be displayed.
Example: cardinalities.
To modify the position of the text with respect to the line:
1. Select the text zone.

3. Let off your click.
Possible movements are limited so that the text remains attached to the link. This way, the text can be positioned above, below, or over the line.
