Set properties
You can set the properties for UML elements in different ways. Using the example of the visibility of an operation, the following describes how to change the settings either by entering text via inline edit or by using a dialog.
You can specify the visibility of members directly using the +, #, -, and ~ characters.
In the diagram window, click a class that has an operation. The class is selected.
Click the placed operation. The operation in the class is selected.
Place the cursor in front of the name of the operation.
Enter the character for the required visibility.
Press Enter.
The operation now has the visibility you selected.
You can use the Properties dialog for elements to set their visibility.
In the diagram window, click a class that has an operation. The class is selected.
Click the placed operation. The operation in the class is selected.
Right-click the selected operation and select Properties. The properties page for the operation opens, with the General page activated.
On the General page, navigate to the option NamedElement. The property Visibility of the operation is listed below this.
Click the second column after Visibility. The possible settings are listed.
Click one of the setting options, for example, Public. The selected visibility is entered in the cell.
Close the properties by clicking OK.
The operation now has the visibility you selected.
