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.
As the following figure illustrates, the hierarchy of elements that inherit from the selected classifier, and the elements that the selected classifier inherits, is displayed in the top section of the Inheritance Explorer view. The list of operation and attributes of the selected classifier is displayed in the bottom section.
