Stereotype Selector
If you want to apply more than one stereotype to a UML object, from multiple sources such as Profiles or the Customized Stereotypes List, you can select the stereotypes from the 'Stereotypes for <object name>' dialog. This dialog also helps you to identify existing, valid individual stereotypes, and to create new stereotypes. The new stereotypes, at this point, are simple labels; if you want them to impose an Effect on the object, locate them on the 'Stereotypes' tab of the 'UML Types' dialog and define the Effect.

- The appearance of a stereotype on an object in a diagram is influenced by the stereotype visibility settings on the 'Properties' dialog for the diagram
