Adding an Inherited Attribute to a Class

To add an inherited attribute to a class:

  1. Double-click a class that is linked to a parent class in the diagram to open its property sheet, and then click the Attributes tab.
  2. Click the Inherited button to open the Inherited Attribute window. This window lists all the attributes that belong to all the parent classes of the class.


  3. Select an attribute and click Override and then Close. A copy of the attribute is added to the list of attributes of the child class. It is grayed to indicate that its properties cannot be modified, and its stereotype is set to <<Override>>.
  4. Click OK.
