Associating stereotypes with an element

You can associate stereotypes with a model element using the Stereotype field of the Features window for that element.

About this task

The Stereotype field includes a list of all the stereotypes that are defined in the profiles and packages that can extend the metaclass of that element. For example, if the element is a class, the Stereotype list includes all the stereotypes in all the profiles and packages that extend that class.

Stereotypes can also be applied to elements that are based on "new term" stereotypes. In such cases, the Stereotype list does not contain the stereotype on which the element is based, nor any other "new term" stereotypes.
