Drawing and connecting ports on NSV-2 diagrams for NAF 3
You can model system ports on Systems Communication Description diagrams. This topic describes how to model symbols on UML diagrams.
1 Select the Port symbol on the toolbar and draw it on a class symbol of stereotype <<System Resource>>.
The Port symbol only connects to class symbols drawn on the diagram. You cannot draw one in the diagram whitespace.
2 Connect Ports to other Ports on the diagram using the Port Link line symbol.
3 To specify the <<System Port Connection>> stereotype for a Connection line, open the definition dialog box of the Port Link line; then in the Stereotype property, select System Port Connection.
4 To add a comment to a Port or Port Link line, open the definition dialog box for Port symbol; then on the Symbol tab, type a comment in the Graphic Comment property.
