Creating a Stereotype

You can create a stereotype within a metaclass, a criterion, or another stereotype.

  1. Right-click a metaclass, criterion, or stereotype, and select New > Stereotype.

    A new stereotype is created with a default name.

  2. Type a stereotype name in the Name box, and fill in any of the other properties that are relevant.


    Once you have created the stereotype, you can define extensions like a custom tool, or custom checks for the stereotype. These extensions will apply to all metaclass instances that carry the stereotype.
