Model Element Editor

Overview

This helper provides a powerful way to dynamically edit / create a model. This is especially useful when using profiles that use a lot of tags and dependencies, such as UAF or AUTOSAR. Rhapsody’s own Features dialog is less than optimal for editing such models. In addition, Rhapsody has no concept of multiplicity for dependencies, whereas the model Element Editor does, allowing you to provide guidance to the modeler in building consistent models.
