You can specify the types of model elements that a stereotype
extends. When you apply a profile to a model, you can only apply
the stereotypes that are applicable to the types of model element
that you specify.
Before you can associate stereotypes with UML
model elements, a custom profile must be open in the Model
Explorer view.
To associate a stereotype with a UML model element:
- In the Model Explorer view,
click a stereotype.
- In the Properties view, click the Extensions tab.
- On the Extensions page, click Add
Extension.
- In the Create Metaclass Extension window,
in the Metaclass list, click a model element.
- Optional: To automatically
apply the stereotype to the type of model element that you specified
in the previous step, select the Required check
box. The attributes of the stereotype are added
to the model element automatically.
- Optional: To associate additional model
element types with the selected stereotype, repeat steps 1 through
5.
