Title: Use sterotype name when creating element
Post by: Mats Gejnevall on March 30, 2017, 12:26:33 am

I have created a MDG with a number of stereotyped elements, most of them are based on Class. When I drag and drop them from the toolbox, they are are given the name Class + a number. I assume there is a way of configuring the sterotype to use the name of it instead of the UML metaclass. But I have not been able to find it.

Can someone give me a hit (or a link to where this is described)?

Thanks
Mats

Yes you can. Give the stereotype a _metatype attribute with initial value set to the name of the stereotype.

This helped with another issues as well! Now we can find all our stereotyped elements in the Relationship matrix as well. And when using _metatype on our relations/connections they also show up in the Relationship matrix!!!  :D :D :D :D :D
