Specifying Custom Symbols for Robustness Objects

We will specify diagram symbols for each of our new robustness diagram objects by adding custom symbols to our new stereotypes.

  1. Right-click Boundary stereotype and select New > Custom Symbol to create a custom symbol under the stereotype.
  2. Click the Modify button to open the Symbol Format dialog, and select the Custom Shape tab.
  3. Select the Enable custom shape check box, and select Boundary Object in the Shape name list.


  4. Click OK to complete the definition of the custom symbol and return to the Resource Editor.
  5. Repeat these steps for the other stereotypes:

    Stereotype

    Shape Name

    Entity

    Entity Object

    Control

    Control Object
