You can create your own set of Milestones for any Project. You can also define a standard set of Milestones so that all new Projects that you add to a diagram automatically have the standard set.
If there are no existing Projects on an AcV-2 diagram, the milestones specified in the Model System Project for an encyclopedia become the default milestones set for all new Projects drawn on a diagram. The Model System Project is predefined with the set of MODAF-specified milestones. You can change this set by editing the Model System Project.
To edit the Model System Project
1 In the Definitions grouping of the System Architect Explorer (Browser) of a MODAF encyclopedia, navigate to the System Project definition.
There is a System Project named “Model Project”. This definition instance is loaded into the encyclopedia upon creation of any MODAF encyclopedia, as shown in the following image.
2 Open the Model Project.
3 Do one of these:
▪Leave the MODAF-standard set of milestones.
▪Add your custom milestones.
Result
If there is at least one System Project already drawn on an AcV-2 diagram, then any additional new Projects drawn on the diagram contain Milestones as specified in the topmost Project on the diagram.
System Projects dragged onto a diagram from the Explorer (Browser) display the Milestones contained in their definition, not the ones specified by MODAF or the ones on the topmost Project on the diagram. Projects on a diagram no longer have to share the same set of milestones as defined in the topmost project, nor must they must appear in the same order. Therefore, you can create a diagram that has a heterogeneous group of System Projects definitions.
