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.

Only one View Creation dialog configuration can be activated for a project.

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

Once you activate a View Creation dialog configuration via the Active Create View Dialog, the active dialog's configuration is created in the model in a new root namespace.

package ProjectViewCreationConfig {
    part def myProjectViewCreationDialogConfig :> DS_UIComponents::CoreUIComponents::Dialogs::ViewCreationDialogConfiguration {
        part : CustomViewCreationDialogs::NewCustomViewCreationDialog :> activeViewCreationDialog;
    }
}
