Add Elements Directly To Packages

 Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

You can quickly add new elements to a package without the necessity of adding a diagram element at the same time. This is particularly useful in defining a group of requirements, changes, issues, base classes or other element types that might not require diagrammatic representation in the model.

Add a New Element to a Package

To add a new element to a package, follow the steps below:

1.In the Project Browser window, right-click on the appropriate package. The context menu displays.
2.Select the Add | Add Element menu option. The New Element dialog displays.
 
InsertNewElement
 
3.In the Type field, click on the drop-down arrow and select the element type.
4.In the Name field, type the name of the element.
5.If required, in the Stereotype field click on the drop-down arrow and select the stereotype.
6.Select the Open Properties Dialog on Creation checkbox if you want the Properties dialog to open immediately after the element is created.
7.Deselect the Close Dialog on OK checkbox if you want to add multiple elements in one session.
8.Click on the OK button to create the element.
