How to Model...

This chapter provides instructions for creating and manipulating UML elements, diagrams, and relationships from the UModel graphical user interface. It is intended as a "how to" guide to modeling with UModel. The enclosed instructions are generic across UModel and not specific to a particular element or diagram type, unless explicitly mentioned. For information applicable to (and grouped by) each diagram type, refer to the UML Diagrams chapter.

The information in this chapter is organized into the following categories: Elements, Diagrams, Relationships, and Stereotypes.

Elements	Diagrams	Relationships	Stereotypes
