Creating custom UML profiles

When you create a UML profile, you can add the profile to an existing modeling project. You can also create a profiles project, if you prefer to manage the profile in a separate, self-contained project. A profile file has .epx as the file name extension.

Before you can create a profile, you must enable the creation of UML profiles.
To create a profile:
  1. Click File > New > Project.
  2. In the New Project window, in the Wizards list, expand Modeling, expand UML Extensibility, and click UML Profile Project.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Specify a project name.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Specify a profile name.
  7. Specify a file name.
  8. To select the primitive types, select the UML2 Types check box.
  9. Click Finish.
You must now specify stereotypes and constraints for your new profile.
