Relationship Matrix: show classes with specific stereotype

[Mo]

Hello, EA Experts,

Is there a way that I can show the classes (in a package) with a specific stereotype (stereotype ABC) rather than showing all the classes in that package when I drag it and drop it to the Source or Target?

Thank you,
Mo

Yes, if your stereotype is defined in an MDG and has a metatype specified.

See for example BPMN BusinessProcess

Thank you, Geert for your response.

So, it is not possible to do that if the stereotypes are defined in the standard UML perspective?

Can you given an example? I'm not sure what stereotypes you are talking about.
An alternative might be to assign a query to be te source.

Hello, Geert,

I have a class diagram that includes different elements: classes, enumerations and data types.

The enumeration types are stereotyped as <<question>> and <<category>>

When I drag and drop the package that includes this diagram to the relationship matrix source and choose "enumeration" from the dropdown "Type", the source will show all enumeration elements regardless of their stereotype.

My question is whether there is a way to show only the enumeration items stereotyped as <<question>>?

Thank you,
Mo

«question» and «category» don't seem to be predefined stereotypes.
If you want to easily filter the relationship matrix based on your stereotypes, you'll have to define them in an MDG, and give them a metatype.

But as was remarked before, I'm not sure if they should even be stereotypes at all.
Stereotypes are meant for the meta-level. Not to denote a bunch of similar classes

Thank you, Geert for the additional information.

I would appreciate that you clarify how can I define the stereotype in an MDG, and give them a metatype?

Thank you,

That is a too broad bit of a question. Creating an MDG is not too difficult, but it takes some reading and experimenting. I suggest you start with the first.

Start here: https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.2/modeling/introduction_2.html

You'll first need to create a UML profile, and then package that into an MDG.

Thank you, Geerd for the link. I will go through it.
