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 state element offers a special context command named New with a submenu for adding the following elements and events:
Creates an internal transition event within the state element. For more information, see Creating Internal Transitions.
Creates a deferred event within the state element. For more information, see Creating Deferred Events.
Creates a state element within the state element. For more information, see Creating States.
Creates a history element within the state element. For more information, see Creating the History Element.
Creates an object element within the state element. For more information, see Creating Objects.
Choosing this command adds a horizontal fork/join element to the element. For more information, see Creating Fork/Joins.
Choosing this command adds a vertical fork/join element to the element. For more information, see Creating Fork/Joins.
The object element offers the following additional context menu selections:
The object element has a special context command named, New, with a submenu for creating a new class or interface:
Class
Selecting New > Class from the context menu displays the New Object's Class dialog allowing you to create a new class:
Interface
Selecting New > Interface from the context menu displays the New Object's Interface dialog allowing you to create a new interface:
The object element also offers special context commands named Select Class and Unlink Class.
Select Class expands to display a submenu that shows any classes that are "local" to the diagram and an option named, More, for browsing available classes that you wish to associate with the object.
Local Class List (Class1, Class2)
If there are classes that are "local" to the diagram, then they will be displayed in this list. Select the class from the list to associate it with the object.
More
Select More to open a file browsing dialog to select a class to associate with an object.
Once a class or interface has been associated with an object, the Show Class command is enabled. This command offers special context commands named, In Editor, In Resource Navigator, In Package Explorer, and In Model Navigator.
