Creating an aspect diagram

Before creating an aspect diagram, the following conditions must be met:

• The custom aspects are created in the project. How to create a custom aspect >>

  

  If you have SysML v1 Plugin installed, the predefined aspect diagrams already exist in your project. Finding predefined diagram aspects

• The Use Aspects option is enabled. Enabling or disabling diagram aspects option

Creating a new aspect diagram is similar to creating any other diagram. Every way to create a diagram is described here: Creating diagrams. The difference is that aspect Composite Structure diagrams are automatically collected under the separate Aspect Diagrams group of the Creating diagrams. If you have SysML v1 plugin installed, the Internal Block diagrams with custom and predefined aspects are collected under the same Aspect Diagrams group.
