Creating a stereotype to allow items to appear on any diagram type
1. If you have not created a profile Package, create a profile Package. See Creating a profile Package.
2. Right-click the profile Package in which you want to create the Stereotype, point to New, point to UML, point to Profiles, and then click Stereotype.
3. Name the Stereotype as required.
We recommend that you prefix the name with a prefix that is common to all Stereotypes used in the Profile.
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 required display name in the Name Alias box.
4. Select valid model items types for the Stereotype (the Stereotype can be applied only to items whose type is valid):
a. Open the Stereotype's Property Pages, and then 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 model item types (the Stereotype can be applied only to items whose type is valid).
For more information about the model item types listed, see Model item types that can be stereotyped.
d. In the middle or right pane, clear the check boxes associated with invalid model item types.
e. Click OK.
5. On the Stereotype's Property Pages, click the Directly-Stereotyped Options tab.
6. Select the Create As Note Symbol check box.
