Hello,
I am trying to create a profile with a composite diagram.
The "son" diagram must be a State Machine diagram.
I created a profile where, in my diagram type part, I created a metaclass object named Diagram_StateMachine and a stereotype object linked with an extends.
The name of the stereotype object is the name of my kind of diagram.
If in my metaclass I write Diagram_Sequence or Diagram_Use Case I have the correct type of diagram (seq or Use case). Every diagram works except State Machine. Do you know how to do it (maybe there is a particuliar way to write State Machine ? (but I tried a lot of combinations))
Thank you.

Which combinations did you try? Just for interest's sake.
However, it seems to me that if you want your stereotyped element to have a __defaultDiagramType to be one of the existing diagram "types". You should be able to just set the _defaultDiagramType attribute to the appropriate initial value.
I think (but who knows with EAUI) that you only need to «extend» the Diagram_XXXX metaclass if you are defining a new type of diagram.
HTH,
Paolo

What do you mean ?

I don't want exactly a State Machine. I want a customised state machine with the appearance of a classic one (the icon in the project browser for example)

You said you used various combinations of "State Machine"...
Which ones?

I was probably not clear : I just meant that I tried several ways to write Diagram_StateMachine like Diagram_State_Machine or Diagram_State Machine.
Nothing extraordinary !

http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/defining_child_diagram_types.htm gives the list of valid values for _defaultDiagramType.
From that I believe you want 'UML Behavioral::State Machine' without the quotes.

Simon,
That's not utilisateurEA's problem... defaultDiagramType was a side issue. Sorry. I was just trying to supply a work around.
His problem is "what do you name the Metaclass from which you extend to define the child diagram?"
utilisateurEA can you confirm that?

Diagram_Statechart. See this page (http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/built_in_diagram_types.htm) for the full list.
