Operation

The helper checks for any stereotypes that have been applied to the selected model element as well as its new term (if it is a new term element).

If this investigation finds only one element (either a stereotype or a new term) then that element is highlighted in the model browser. If there are more than one (for example more than one stereotype or a new term element that also has a stereotype applied) then a panel is displayed allowing navigation to any of them:

Opening / Updating the Features View

By default, the helper only highlights an element in the model browser. Rhapsody does not count that as a focus shift so any Features view currently open will not change focus. The following property may be set at project level to either open a new Features window or update any existing one when the locate operation is performed:
