Paski narzędzi są zaraz pod menu głównym. Zawierają często używane opcje.

Obszar przeglądania

Obszar przeglądania jest umieszczony w górnym lewym rogu ekranu. Ten obszar zawiera opcje umożliwiające łatwe przeglądanie elementów komponentów projektu. Zawiera [Model Explorer], który zawiera elementy składowe modelu uporządkowane w odpowiedniej architekturze projektu, oraz [Diagram Explorer], który zawiera diagramy.

Dialogs

Collection Editor

The Collection Editor is used for managing a list of child elements for a specific element.

Tab

Shows collections (a list of child elements contained in the current element) contained in the element by tabs. Different types of elements have different collections, and therefore have different tabs. For example, Class element has tabs for Attributes and Operations. The Relations tab is always present regardless of the element type.

Collection Element List

Shows a list of the child elements. Select an element here and edit it using the property editor, documentation editor, and attachment editor in the inspector area. For showing element stereotype, visibility/stereotype, etc., please refer to the section on General Configurations, in Environment Configurations.

Add Button

Creates a new element and adds it to the list. This button may connect existing elements instead of creating a new element (e.g. Residents, DeployedComponents, RaisedSignals).

Delete Button

Deletes the selected element in the collection element list. This button may remove the element from the list instead of deleting it (e.g. Residents, DeployedComponents, RaisedSignals).

Move Up Button

Moves the selected element up in the collection element list.

Move Down Button

Moves the selected element down in the collection element list.

Constraint Editor

The Constraint Editor is used for managing the constraints for elements.

Constraints

Shows the names and contents of the constraints for elements.

Add

Adds a new constraint to the element. This button opens the Constraints dialog box.

Delete

Deletes the selected constraint in the constraints list.

Edit

Edits the selected constraint in the constraints list.

The user may freely enter any contents or write in the UML OCL (Object Constraint Language).

Tagged Value Editor

The Tagged Value Editor is used for editing the tagged values that can be added to specific elements.

Profile Tab

By default, tagged values are defined in profiles. If there is a profile that contains the tagged values which can be applied to the currently selected element, it is shown as a tab. The tag definitions defined in the profile are displayed in the [Tag Definition Set] and [Tagged Values] fields.

Tag Definition Set

Shows the tag definition set that can be applied to the currently selected element. The tagged values included in this set are displayed in the [Tagged Values] field.

Tagged Values

Lists the definitions and their values included in the tag definition set selected in [Tag Definition Set]. The user may directly change the values.

Set As Default

Every tag definition has a default value. Select a tag definition in [Tagged Values] and click this button to clear the changed value and set it back to the default value.

Profile Manager

The Profile Manager can be used for including or excluding the UML profiles for the current project.

Available profiles

Shows a list of the UML profiles registered for use in StarUML?. Profiles currently in use by the current project are not shown here.

Note

• The list of Add-Ins in the Add-In Manager window may vary according to the user??s installation environment.

Select New Project Dialog Box

The Select New Project dialog box provides various selection methods when creating a new project. The New Project dialog box consists of three pages: Select Approach, Open Existing File, and Open Recent File.

Approaches

The user can apply a specific approach for creating a new project.

• Approaches: The approaches list displays the names and icons of the registered approaches. Select the ??Empty Project?? item if no approach is needed.
