2 Name the diagram.
3 In the dialog box that opens, specify the Package that the diagram belongs to.
4 Specify that the diagram is of stereotype SOV-04c Service Interaction Specification, as shown below:
•Open the Properties dialog box for the diagram. Right-click an empty area of the diagram workspace; then click Diagram Properties.
•Click the list in the Stereotype property and select SOV-04c Service Interaction Spec.
•Save the diagram and refresh the Explorer browser.
The stereotype <<SOV-04c Service Interaction Spec.>> is displayed in front of the diagram name in the Explorer.
