In addition to enabling global workbench capabilities, you can
specify the capabilities that you want to apply to individual models. The
capabilities that you specify are saved with the model so that, regardless
of who works with the model, the same set of UI elements is available.
About this task
For example, you might have a model that currently includes all the
UML Diagram Building Blocks. At some point you realize that you do not create
all the available diagram types; you only need class, sequence, and composite
structure diagrams. You can refine the capabilities that are applied to your
model by expanding
UML Diagram Building Blocks and
selecting only the
Class Diagram,
Sequence
Diagram, and
Structure Diagram check boxes.
To
apply capabilities to an individual UML model:
Procedure
- In the Project Explorer view, select a model.
- In the Properties view, go to the Capabilities tab.
- Select the Customize UI visibility for this model by
selecting capabilities below check box.
- Select the check boxes next to the capabilities that you want to
enable for the selected model.
Results
Note: The Palette is always refreshed for the diagram that is open
in the diagram editor. When you change the UML element building blocks for
a model, it might appear that the Palette does not refresh. To verify that
the Palette is current, open the groups within the Palette. For example, if
you disable the UML Class building block, Class is
removed from the Palette and Signal is displayed in
its place. When you re-enable the UML Class building block, Signal is
still displayed in the Palette, but you can open the group to see Class in
the list of available items.
