I am using Papyrus with Eclipse C/C++ for linux.

When i want to create new interface in uml model, i can only add new attribute in the Properties tab.

How can i add new operations?

Hi Ron,

you can add operations either via a class diagram or the property view. In case of the diagram, select the "Operation" tool from the palette and create a new one in the operation compartment of an interface. Normally, you should well see "owned operations" in the UML tab of the property view once an interface is selected. You can then add a new operation using "+" button. If not, please state which Papyrus version you are using.
Please note (in particular when being used to C++) the difference between an "operation" (a specification) and a behavior aka "method" providing an implementation. Both are linked via the "specification" and "method" references, respectively. Interfaces typically contain operations, but not behaviors.

Thank you for the tip of choosing Operation in the palette tab, I was not aware of this option.

I don't know where to check my version, but if I choose Interface from the palette tab, I don't have the Owned operation in the Properties like I have when I choose Class.

What you see in the properties view does not depend on the chosen tool but on the element that is currently selected. You see the version in the Help -> About Eclipse IDE -> click on papyrus icon
