Names that are too long to fit in the pane continue past the divider, running down behind the lower pane. To change the size of the names pane, click the dividing line and drag it up or down.
You can change the font and edit the names in the names pane using the menu for text items.
There are three ways to describe the name:
Classifier Role Name: Classifier Name
: Classifier Name
Classifier Role Name
In the first two cases, if the classifier name does not exist in the metamodel, IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® asks if you want to add a new classifier to the project. The third case tells the product that you want to use an <Unspecified> classifier role, which means that the classifier role is not a realization of an existing classifier or actor.
If you change the name of a classifier role to a role name that exists in the model, the classifier role is automatically realized to that classifier. For example, if you change the role name of classifier B to "Alarm" and there is a class Alarm in the model, this role becomes a realization of class Alarm and its name changes to B::Alarm.
If you change the name to a class that does not yet exist in the model, Rational Rhapsody asks if you want to create that class. For example, if you type x:X, the product asks if you want to create the class X.
