Adding proxy ports to a connector

You can use the Rhapsody® proxy port wizard.

Before you begin

In a block definition diagram, add at least two blocks, each containing operations and attributes.

About this task

You can use the proxy port wizard to add and configure proxy ports on a connector between two interface blocks in a block definition diagram. Proxy ports externalize the parts, attributes, and operations that are owned by an interface block. When you add proxy ports on each side of a connector, you externalize the elements of each block so they can be used by elements in the other block.

1. In a block definition diagram, right-click a part.
2. Select SysML > Create/Update Proxyport.
3. In the Create Proxyport window, enter a name, then select the appropriate interface block
4. Under Block Features, select the block features you want to externalize.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for each of the blocks you want to connect in the diagram.
6. On the drawing pallet, select the Connector icon.
7. Place the cursor on the edge of a block, then drag it across to the edge of another block.
8. Right-click the connector, then select SysML > Elaborate Connector Via Ports.
9. Complete the steps in the wizard to add proxy ports to the connector.
