Adding values to slots in object diagrams

In object diagrams, you can define specific values for the slots in an instance specification. Each slot maps to a feature or attribute of the classifier that is instantiated.

Before you begin

You must have an object diagram open and the diagram must contain at least one instance specification.

Procedure

In the Project Explorer view or the diagram editor, select an instance specification.
In the Properties view, click the Slots and Values tab.
On the Slots and Values page, in the Name column, select a check box.
Click in the Values column and complete one of the following:
- For Primitive types, enter the desired value.
- For non-Primitive types, select the object instance of corresponding type.

Results

The instance specification in the object diagram is updated to show the values that you defined for each slot.

Note: You must ensure that each slot has a valid type displayed in the Type column. If the type is not defined, you cannot add a value for the slot.

Tip: If you defined default values for attributes in the classifiers when you create the instantiations, the corresponding slot values are displayed in the Slots and Values page. You can modify the values.
