All of the UML diagram elements share common context menu commands. To use the context menu for an element, simply right click on the element in the Diagram view. To view the common context menu commands, see Common Element Context Commands.
The context menu for an operation shares the common element context commands as well as the following commands specific to it:
Selecting Open from the context menu, opens the selected class containing the operation in the text editor.
This command opens an editor for the super implementation of the selected operation. If a super implementation does not exist for the operation, then an editor does not open.
The Show in Packages View command highlights the node selected in the Packages tree-view. The Packages view will expand and highlight that element in the tree-view. If closed, the Packages view will open.
The Show in UML Explorer View command highlights the node selected in the UML Explorer tree-view. The UML Explorer view will expand and highlight that element in the tree-view. If closed, this view will open.
Selecting Static from the context menu sets the static property for the operation.
