Typically, you will want to create Stereotypes within a profile Package.
This topic documents creating a Stereotype through the Packages pane. For information about using a Profile Diagram to create a Stereotype, specify valid model item types and define Scripts, click here
To change drop behavior through a Stereotype:
1. Right-click the profile Package, point to New, point to UML, point to Profiles, and then click Stereotype.
2. Type a name for the Stereotype, and then press theEnter key.
If you want the display name of the Stereotype in Modeler to be different from its real name: on the General tab of the Stereotype's property pages, type the display name in the Name Alias box.

a. Click the Items tab.
b. In the drop-down list box select Model Item Types and then click the, Link button.
c. In the middle or right pane, select the check boxes associated with valid item or diagram types.

Write the script within the ValidDrop and OnDrop functions. For more information about working with scripts:
For items, the script will be run whenever an item is copied or moved to an item (in a pane) that is stereotyped directly by the Stereotype.
For diagrams, the script will be run whenever the following drag-and-drop operation are performed on a diagram (in the diagram editor) that is stereotyped directly by the Stereotype:
• An item is dragged to the diagram from a pane.
• A symbol is moved on the diagram, including the reconnection of a link.
