Deriving from and extending the UML analysis elements
« on: April 07, 2016, 02:21:26 am »
Hi,

 Is it possible to derive from the stereotypes om the three UML analysis entities - boundary, control and entity?

 I'm having difficulties finding the stereotypes to derive from in the profile I'm trying to create.

 Given that they are available, is it possible to "overlay" the default visual element with additional information with ShapeScript?
 I.e. can I use DrawParentShape or DrawNativeShape or something?

 

qwerty

Not sure about boundary etc., but you could try to extend UML::boundary. If that would work, the DrawParentShape is probably what is needed. The DrawNativeShape will descend to the very basic meta type.

See http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/building_models/non-uml_metatypes.html
In step 5 you can select the EAUML profile.
That profile contains

EAUML::business boundary
EAUML::business entity
EAUML::business control
