When building models, you may want to supplement the out-of-the-box
model elements with your own user-defined elements. The New Term feature
can be used to create such custom model elements. After you create
such elements, they can be added to your model using the browser’s
pop-up menus. It is also possible to customize the Drawing toolbar
to include your custom elements.
