An easy way to show such things is simply to adorn the class with a stereotype. enter image description here

the dotted arrow represents a dependency? – eispeed Apr 04 '15 at 13:23
Yes, that's the notation. In this case a dependency is sufficient to tell that A needs (something from) C. – qwerty_so Apr 04 '15 at 14:19
