 Click on diagram
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
14
Specify Class Name


Directely in the diagram
Double click on the class  “Class Specification for
NewClass”
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
15
Specify Diagram Elements

Specification Window

Allows you to specify a
model element (diagrams,
classes, packages,
relationship...)

The attributes or subelements to be specified
depend on the selected
element
In each TabWindow attributes and sub-elements would be specified


Open Specification Window




Double Click on element via Browser or Diagram Window
Sel. element (Browser,Diagram Window)  Mouse right button menu 
Open Specification
Sel. elemento  Browse menu  Open Specification
Shorcuts of TabWindows, Properties, WIndow Specification Menus

Sel. Element (Browser,Diagram Window)  right button Menu  new
<subelement> (attribute, operation...) OR <Property> OR <TabWindow>

Class Graphic
An element
•Can be in multiple diagrams
•Only one instance in the Browser
Synchronized
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
18
Delete an Element

Shallow Delete


Edit Delete
Select element in diagram  key DEL
It is not deleted from the MODEL!! (only from the diagram, not from Browser)

Deep Delete


Select element in Browser  click right button  Delete
Select element in diagram  Click CTRL+D
It is deleted from the MODEL!! (It will disapear from the diagram and from the Browser)
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial

Specify an Operation

Directly: write the signature of the method


<< stereotype>> nameOperation( param: Typo,...) : Return Type
Indirectly: Class Specifcation  tab Operations  right button menu 
Insert (operation)

Double click on method  Operation Specification Name  Details  right button menu
 Insert (parameter)


Name,Type
Public, Protected, Private
Abstract o Concrete

(checkbox Abstract in Details TabWindow)

22
Create an Attribute


Diagram: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Attribute
Browser: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Attribute
Browser: would be updated in Diagram Window
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
23
Specify Attribute

Directly: write the signature of the attribute


<< stereotype>> nameAttribute : Type
Indirectly: Class Specification  tab Attributes  right button menu  Insert (
attribute)

Double click on attribute  Attribute Specification Name  Type



Click on button Toolbar
Menu  Tools  Create Generalization
 Click on Diagram Window  Connect element B to A
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
29
Specify Generalization

Like the rest of the elements:




Double click on element
Sel. element  right button menu  Open Specification or
Shortcut of TabWindow/Property
Sel. Sel element  Browse menu  Specification
(note: it does appear on the Browser)
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
30
Create an Association

Place mouse pointer over Tool



Click on Toolbar button
Menu  Tools  Create Generalization
 Click on Diagram Window  Connect element B to A
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
31
Specify Association

Like the rest of Elements:
 Double click, Sel (Browser Diagram Window) + Right Button
Menu, Browse menu)
It will appear as another element
else in the Browser

33
Model Organization

A model can be organized using packages
Graphic Model
(group, include model elements)
“Folder” Structure
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
34
Move Elements across Packages

Drag&Drop in each Package Browser from
one to another


One to One
Pay attention: by moving the classes it does not
mean that associations will move as well!!
(Rational Rose 2000>)

They are elements with Identity
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
35
Copy Cut Paste Elements between diagrams

Within the same Rational Rose model we are
talking about the diagrams figures

The elements appearing in the Browser are the
only elements in the entire model.

An element can appear in multiple diagrams

If it is a different package, indicate from where the package
come from “from <Package>”
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial
36
Copy Cut Paste Elements between diagrams

Between two instances of Rational Rose
Copy, Paste

create the new elements



If they dont exist in the model destination
If they dont exist in the model destination, but the paste
is in the package destination
keep the existing if they exist in the model destination
and the paste is in the same package
