Creating elements
Elements can be created in different ways.
From the diagram view
Creating a class in a UML class diagram
Key:
1. Choose the type of element you want to create from the diagram palette
2. Click in the diagram to position the new element. Click again on the element to rename it (or click on the F2 keyboard button)
From the UML model explorer
To create your first element, right-click on the root package and then on 'Create element'. Choose the kind of UML/BPMN element you want to create:
The element creation context menu
Sibling creation
To create a series of elements, simply select the original element in the model explorer, then click on as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created empty and named with an incremental number. Sibling elements are created within the same container.
Clone creation
To clone an element, simply select it in the UML/BPMN explorer, then click on as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created with the same sub-elements as the original one, and will be named the same.
