You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a group (or reference to a group) property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Groups folder (or, in the case of a reference to a group, beneath its parent object).
Property |
Description |
---|---|
Name |
[unavailable to references to groups] Name of the group, which must be a no-colon-name. Required when the group is global |
Code |

Stereotype |
Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure. It can be predefined or user-defined. |
Reference |
[for references to groups only] Name of a group in the current model or another model opened in the workspace, which must be a qualified name. A reference allows you to reuse a group with all its properties without having to define it again. Use the list to select a group in the current model. Use the Browse tool to select a group from any model opened in the workspace. If you select a group from another model, a shortcut is created with the referencing group. When a reference is defined, the name and code are those of the target group, and the properties are grayed. Once you have defined the reference of a referencing group, you can locate the referenced group in the diagram by right-clicking the referencing group symbol and selecting Find Referenced Group in the contextual menu. The referenced group is displayed with handles in the diagram. |
