Can't draw Associations within a package

I have this block of code that read my project, iterate through every element in a package. I do a check:
if the element is an instanceof IClass, then I draw the class. I was able to draw all the classes.
If the element is an instanceof IAssociation, the draw the association. But I wasn’t able to draw associations. Can anyone help? Thanks.

//
public void createClassDiagram(DiagramManager manager,
IModelElementFactory factory) {

	// create and open a new class diagram
	IClassDiagramUIModel diagram = (IClassDiagramUIModel) manager
			.createDiagram(DiagramManager.DIAGRAM_TYPE_CLASS_DIAGRAM);
	manager.openDiagram(diagram);

	// create a system boundary and the corresponding UI model
	ISystem system = factory.createSystem();
	system.setName("System 1");
	IShapeUIModel systemShape = ((IShapeUIModel) manager
			.createDiagramElement(diagram, system));
	systemShape.setBounds(0, 0, 700, 700);

	// load project
	IProject project = ApplicationManager.instance().getProjectManager()
			.getProject();
	Iterator iter1 = project
			.modelElementIterator(IModelElementFactory.MODEL_TYPE_PACKAGE);
	while (iter1.hasNext()) {
		IPackage obj1 = (IPackage) iter1.next();
		Iterator iter2 = obj1.childIterator();
		while (iter2.hasNext()) {
			Object obj = iter2.next();
			if (obj instanceof IClass) {
				IClass theClass = (IClass) obj;
				system.addChild(theClass);
				IShapeUIModel classShape = ((IShapeUIModel) manager
						.createDiagramElement(diagram, theClass));
				classShape.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
				classShape.setLocation(20, 20);
			} else if (obj instanceof IAssociation) {
				IAssociation theAssociation = (IAssociation) obj;
				system.addChild(theAssociation);
				IShapeUIModel associationShape = ((IShapeUIModel) manager
						.createDiagramElement(diagram, theAssociation));
				associationShape.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
				associationShape.setLocation(20, 20);
			}
		}
	}
}
