The Extract Structure Wizard is used for extracting a selected part of a composite structure diagram to a separate diagram. Using this wizard, you can:
To start the Extract Structure Wizard
This section describes components of the Extract Structure Wizard, such as text boxes and buttons. The Extract Structure Wizard consists of three steps:
In this step, you can specify a diagram into which the extracted part will be moved and an owner wherein this new diagram will be created. You can also define the type of the newly created classifier element that will own the diagram. The class element and the composite structure diagram type are selected by default. The name of the composite structure diagram will be the same as the specified name of the classifier element.
Element name | Description |
---|---|
Type element name | Type the name of the new element, that is, classifier, wherein the extracted part will be stored. |
Select element type | Open the list and select the element type. The default element type is a class. By using the customized plugins, you can add custom elements to the element type list. |
Select owner | In the model tree, select a package, profile, or model as an owner of the newly created element. You may also:
|
Select diagram type | Open the list and select the diagram type for the extracted part. The default diagram type is a composite structure diagram. By using the customized plugins, you can add custom diagrams to the diagram type list. |
After you have specified the new element name, type, owner of the diagram, and the type of the new diagram, do one of the following:
In this step, there are listed the port(s) that will be created for the:
The Create ports list is empty unless there are intersected, incoming and/or outgoing connector(s) selected in the source composite structure diagram. |
After you have selected the ports, do one of the following:
A property is created as the result of the extraction. The property is created under the classifier that was specified in the first wizard step. The symbol of the property is created in the source composite structure diagram and represents the elements moved to the target diagram during the extraction.
After you have selected the parameters, do one of the following:
