Unit
A unit describes a physical unit.
Create unit
You can enter units manually using a dialog or model them in a block diagram. You can recognize a unit in the system by this icon:
Stereotype
The stereotype of unit is <<Unit>>. You need the stereotype when you create document templates, queries, forms, or search for a unit in the tool. In the Stereotypes window you will find the Stereotype Unit under DomainElement. Here you can create additional sub stereotypes or user-defined properties. Properties do not have to be created separately for each sub stereotype, since the properties are inherited from the main stereotype.
Context menu commands
With the context menu commands, you can edit personas, share them, create revisions, and much more. The following shortcut menu commands are available for units:
Edit

Change State

Show Diagrams
Opens a selection dialog where all diagrams containing the unit are displayed. If you select a diagram and click OK, the diagram opens.
