Configuring UPIA modeling capabilities and viewpoints
You can use modeling capabilities to control which features are
enabled in your IBM® Rational® modeling products.
Viewpoints can be used to hide or expose user interface controls in the workspace.
About this task
Enabling UPIA modeling capabilities
To use the UPIA modeling features to develop UPIA models, you must
globally enable the UPIA modeling capability.
Enabling UPIA viewpoints
You can select one of five predefined UPIA viewpoints to change
the set of capabilities that you want to use. When you change the viewpoint,
the available tools, including pop-up menu items and Palette items, are updated
to provide the corresponding modeling tools. You can also enable custom viewpoints
that you have defined.
Creating custom viewpoints for UPIA models
You can create new viewpoints, or customize an existing modeling
viewpoints, to reduce the number of tools that are displayed in the user interface.
For example, you can duplicate a predefined UPIA viewpoint as a base, and
then select or clear specific capabilities to provide only the tools that
you need to work with UPIA models.
