The Active Create View Dialog allows you to manage all View Creation dialogs, determining which one should be activated for the project. The predefined SysMLViewCreationDialog configuration is activated by default for all SysML v2 projects. If you prefer using your custom-created View Creation dialog, you must activate it via the Active Create View dialog.

The Manage Create View Dialog command invokes the Active Create View Dialog, where the custom View Creation dialog's CustomViewCreationDialog configuration is activated for the project.

Activating the View Creation dialog

Activating a View Creation dialog for the project via the Active Create View Dialog automatically creates a new package ProjectViewCreationConfig with the active View Creation dialog configuration. The package is created in a root namespace dedicated to configurations that activate style sheets, creation dialogs, and validation suites. If no such namespace exists in the model, it is automatically created with the ProjectViewCreationConfig package. The root namespace's name depends on the name of the package first created in the namespace. 

  • Only one View Creation dialog can be activated for a project. If you specify multiple, only the first will be activated.
  • If a newly created View Creation dialog is not visible in the Active Create View Dialog, refresh the project by pressing F5 or clicking View > Refresh.
