How do I use the _MeaningForwards and _MeaningBackwards when defining stereotypes?

Question

When defining stereotypes in a UML profile in EA there are special attributes _MeaningForwards and _MeaningBackwards.

How do I use those exactly to define the entries in the quicklinker?
When I add them to the stereotype, they don't show up in the quicklinker.

Answer 1

The attributes _MeaningForwards and _MeaningBackwards should be added to the metaclass, not to the stereotype.

If you use the profile helper to create them for you, you can't miss.

This is also the reason why you should not reuse metaclasses, but instead create a metaclass for each stereotype.

The result can be seen in the quicklinker
