The first stereotype that is applied to a model element controls
the icons or shapes that appear for that element. When you apply a new stereotype,
you must reorder the list of stereotypes to display the icons and shapes of
the new stereotype.
Before you begin
First, you must define custom stereotypes in a new UML profile, apply
the profile to a model, and then apply the customized stereotypes to the model
elements.
About this task
To reorder the stereotypes that are applied to model elements:
Procedure
- In the Project Explorer view or in a diagram, right-click an element
that has multiple stereotypes applied to it; then click .
- Select the stereotype whose icon or shape should be displayed for
the element; then move it to the top of the list by clicking the Up button.
- Click OK.
What to do next
If the icon or shape does not change for the model element immediately,
close and reopen the diagram; if necessary, close and reopen the model to
make the changes appear.
