In UML models, you can browse the inheritance hierarchies of classifiers that support inheritance, such as classes, interfaces, and use cases. Using the Inheritance Explorer view, you can view the subtypes and supertypes for a selected model element, as well as the corresponding attributes and operations.
Creating the inheritance hierarchy of a classifier
In UML models, you can create an inheritance hierarchy of a selected classifier, such as a class, interface, or use case. When you create an inheritance hierarchy, you can view it while the model is open. When you close the model, this information does not persist.Browsing the inheritance hierarchy of a classifier
In UML models, you can browse inheritance relationships to view the subtypes and supertypes for the selected classifier and the corresponding attributes and operations.Changing the scope of the displayed inheritance hierarchy
In UML models, you can change the scope of the inheritance information that is displayed. You can display all the subtypes and supertypes, or choose to display only the subtypes or supertypes for a selected classifier.
