The diagram is created and shown in the Explorer.
The method of modeling SV-02b by using UML class diagrams is deprecated in the current version of the MODAF modeling feature. If you previously created SV-02b diagrams using UML class diagrams, existing data can remain in that form. To create new or work with existing UML diagrams to model the SV-02b, you must first enable UML in the encyclopedia.
If Unified Modeling Language (UML) is enabled for the encyclopedia, you can optionally create a stereotyped class diagram to draw the SV-02b System Port Connectivity Description diagram.
4 Right-click the Diagrams group of the Explorer, click New, and select Class.
5 Name the diagram.
6 To specify that the diagram is of the stereotype <<SV-02b System Port Connectivity Description>>, do this:
Open the Properties dialog box for the class diagram. Click Edit > Diagram Properties.
Navigate to Page 2 of the Diagram Properties dialog box, click the list in the Stereotype property, and select SV-02b System Port Connectivity Description.
Save the diagram and refresh the Explorer browser.
Note The stereotype <<SV-02b System Port Connectivity Description>> is placed before the diagram name in the Explorer.
