You can create Item Flows in two modes:

  • Direct
  • Between Part Types

The Direct creation mode allows you to create the Item Flow between ports or parts in the SysML Internal Block diagrams. 

The Between Part Types creation mode allows you to create the Item Flow between Part Property types. In this mode, you can quickly realize and synchronize Flows on Activity Edges, Connectors, and Messages.


To choose the creation mode

  1. From the main menu, select Options > Project. The Project Option dialog opens.
  2. Expand the General options group and select SysML.
  3. From the Item Flow Creation Mode option, choose one of the following:
    • Direct
    • Between Part Types
  4. Click OK when you are done.
