How to customize embedded elements

[Mike Zhang]

Hi there,

For one of MDG stereotypes I have created, I would like to add a new embedded element, similar to "Port" but with different shape. Can anybody please tell how to do that?

Many thanks,
Mike

You need to assign it a shape script. In your MDG add an _image attribute and assign it with the ellipsis button near the initial value (search the help for "_image").

Thanks for the response.

I have done the shape script for my new embedded element. But, how do I make it to available for a parent element? For example, I can define a new embedded element stereotype X based on "Port" and a new stereotype Y based on "Component", how do I make X to be embedded element of Y?

Regards,

You can drop it from the browser and you will be asked whether it shall be part or port. Alternatively open the context menu/Structural Elements and select/create them.
