Stereotype Selector

If you want to apply more than one stereotype to a UML object, from multiple sources such as Profiles or the 'Custom Stereotypes' list, you can select the stereotypes from the 'Stereotype Selector' dialog. This dialog also helps you to identify existing, valid individual stereotypes, and to create new stereotypes. The new stereotypes, at this point, are simple labels; if you want them to impose an effect on the object, locate them on the 'Stereotypes' tab of the 'UML Types' dialog and define the effect.

The appearance of a stereotype on an object in a diagram is influenced by the stereotype visibility settings on the 'Diagram Properties' dialog
