Applying a stereotype to all valid items
You can apply a Stereotype to all valid items, that is, items whose type is listed as a valid Model Item Type for the Stereotype. If a valid item is created in the Model, the Stereotype is automatically applied to the item.
* 
When a Stereotype is applied to an item in this way:
• The Stereotype is not listed as an associated Stereotype on the Items tab of the item's Property Pages.
• The Stereotype's Style, Menu, Toolbar, UI Event and Object Events properties are not applied to the item.
• The Options that appear in the 'Directly Stereotyped Item Options' group on the Options tab of a Stereotype's Property Pages do not apply to the item.
To apply a stereotype to all valid items:
1. Open the Stereotype's Property Pages.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Select the Apply to All Objects of Associated Model Item Types check box.
