Defining symbol features for an individual symbol - stereotype view option
Use this method when you want to define a symbol's presentation through a Stereotype. For example, if you create a Stereotype that effectively creates a new item type in a model, you can use that Stereotype to also determine how items of that new type appear on diagrams.
To define symbol features for an individual symbol:
1. On the diagram, right-click the symbol, and then click View Options.
2. Click the Style entry.
3. Select the Stereotype option.
If the Stereotype option is not available, there are no Stereotypes applied to the symbol's item.
4. In the associated list, select the Stereotype you want to use to define symbol features.
5. Click OK.
Each symbol feature that is set for the selected Stereotype will be used on the diagram symbol.
