Referencing a State Machine in a Tagged Value

[fleitner]

Dear all,

we have a UML profile that we use in other projects with IBM Rhapsody and Atego Artisan Studio.

It includes Stereotype than can be applied to Classes and includes a Tagged Value that allows to reference an existing state machine in the project.

How is this possible with Enterprise Architect? So far I only managed to reference classes or activities, is it also possible to reference a state machine?

Best regards,
Florian

Florian,

It should be possible yes.

Code: [Select]

Type=RefGUID;
Values=StateMachine;
AppliesTo=Class;
Should to the trick

Hi Geert,
thank you for you response.
Where can I set the properties that you mention?
So far I created the profile using a diagram and the profile toolbox.

I'm not sure how to do it with a profile, but that is what you can enter in the Settings|UML Types|Tagged Values
This type of info should be somewhere in the help file.

Creating the actual Tagged values, follow Geert's advice. Incorporating them into a Profile, read around this set of topics:

If you are using Release 11 of EA, perhaps try and locate the equivalent topics in the integrated Help (click on a Help icon anywhere in the application). I don't think the topics are different, but there might be changes to the menu paths, displays or descriptions.

(We are working on loading the EA 11 Help on the website.)
