You can create compartments that display Stereotype and Tag Definition information for the following diagram symbols:
You can show compartments for the following items on diagrams. In addition, you can show compartments for stereotyped versions of these items, for example, a SysML Block can show compartments because it is a stereotyped Class:
• Actions on General Flow Diagrams.
• Classes, Data Types, Interfaces and Signals on Class Diagrams and Composite Structure Diagrams.
• Instances on Object Diagrams.
• Parts on Composite Structure Diagrams.
• Notes on any diagram type when any item is linked to that Note.
For example, if you define compartments for an Actor and then link that Actor to a Note symbol, that Note symbol will show the Actor's compartments.
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 or Keyword box:
◦ If the Name Alias and Keyword properties are blank, the Stereotype Name is used as the compartment title.
◦ If a Name Alias is specified and the Keyword property is blank, the Stereotype Name Alias is used as the compartment title. Note that the Name Alias name is used for the Stereotype in the Modeler user interface.
◦ If a Keyword is specified, the Stereotype Keyword is used as the compartment title.
4. Open the Stereotype's Property Pages, and then click the Items tab.
5. In the drop-down list box select Model Item Types, and then click the Link button.
6. 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).
