Chapter 4 Building Physical Diagrams


Default properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a default property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Defaults folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for defaults.

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 object, which is used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces
Comment Specifies the descriptive label
Stereotype Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined
Owner Specifies the name of default owner. You choose an owner from a list of users
Value Specifies the value of default object that will be generated
