How to create C# or custom data types [message #1714419]

Hello all!

I need to create C# data types in Papyrus as the ones that I can import are not sufficient enough. I thought about having a profile that I can import into my model project to be able to reuse those custom datatypes in other Papyrus projects. Is that possible?

I had already a look at the thread Custom primitive types, but did not succeed to create any data types that I could import into my project.

Unfortunately I don't know where to start. Crying or Very Sad

Could anybody please point me into the right direction?

Many thanks!
Konstantin

Hi, Konstantin,

If you need to define data types that are sharable amongst models, then
you probably want to create a "library model", not a profile. Profiles
extend the UML to create custom languages.

Library models are exactly the packages that you can import into your
models using the "Import Registered Package" menu action, for example
the UML Primitive Types or Java Primitive Types libraries that ship
with Papyrus.

To create your own library model, just create a Papyrus UML model as
you normally would and add DataTypes to it. You can apply the UML
Standard Profile to your model and stereotype it as <<Library>> if you
want, but that's not necessary (though it is informative).

You can then import this library into other models using the "Import
Package from user Model" menu action in the Model Explorer and picking
your library model from your workspace.

HTH,

Christian
