The script will spell-check a model or model elements for you and add any spelling errors as problems in the Problems view. You can configure It to use any of the supplied dictionaries, or you can extend it by adding new dictionaries. When checking spelling, the spell-checker uses the words in the dictionary file and all classifiers in the model.
Note:
This option is also available from the IBM Addins menu.
To spell-check a model or part of a model:
- From the Project Explorer, select the root element that you want to check.
- Right click, and choose Spellcheck.
The script will spell-check all of the documentation fields in the selected elements and subelements. You will then see a summary of the number of spelling errors (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Spell Check summary view
All spelling errors are then shown under the Problems tab (Figure 2), where you can double-click or right-click and choose Go To to navigate in the Project Explorer to the element that owns the documentation.
Figure 2. Problems view
You can configure the dictionary to use by selecting Window > Preferences > Modeling > Spellchecker and choosing the language that you prefer according to their Internet country codes (see Figure 3):
- UK: U.K. English
- US: U.S. English
- FR: French
- DE: German
- Italian
- ES: Spanish
- NL: Dutch
- SE: Swedish

You can add new dictionaries to the Dictionaries folder in the Plug-ins directory, and you can add words to the dictionary file. In both cases, you must restart the shell for the changes to take effect.
