The
level at which you set a property can affect other elements. For example,
if you set a property for a dependency at the class level, and not
on an individual dependency, it applies to all the dependencies in
that class.
The following illustration shows
how property values
are inherited.
Note: If a stereotype is
applied to an element, a property
assigned to that stereotype takes precedence over the inherited property
values for the element (locally overridden properties take precedence
over both inherited properties and properties applied using a stereotype).
