Chapter 6 Managing Models
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a diagram property sheet, right-click its Model Explorer entry and select Properties from the contextual menu, or right click the diagram background and select Diagram→Properties from the contextual menu. The General tab contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Specifies the name of the item which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users |
| Code | Specifies the technical name of the item used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces |
| Comment | Additional information concerning the diagram |
| Parent | Specifies the name of the parent model or package |
| Stereotype | Specifies a stereotype for the diagram. For example, a statechart diagram can serve to model page flows in JSF and other web frameworks.
You can use a profile to provide special processing for diagrams and other objects carrying stereotypes. For more information, see the "Managing Profiles" chapter in Advanced User Documentation . |
| Page scale | Sets a default display for page scale. The page scale percentage lets you define a page size according to your modeling needs. If you have a lot of objects on several pages, you can reduce the page scale percentage in order for all the objects to fit on a single printable page |
| Default Diagram | Diagram by default. This check box is automatically selected if the diagram is the first created diagram |
