The Perspective view is disabled in Rational Rhapsody

Question & Answer


Question

Why is the Perspective toolbar is not shown in a Rational Rhapsody SysML model, and the Perspective view selection is greyed out?

Cause

You want to use perspective views.

Answer

The perspectives are stored in the property General::Model::Perspectives in the file Share\Settings\SysMLPerspectives\SysMLPerspectives.prp.

This file is loaded in SysMLPerspectives.sbs by the property Model::Profile::PropertyFile.

When creating a new project select "SysMLPerspectives" in Project Settings:




In the Rhapsody model browser you see the SysMLPerspectives profile under category Settings:



If the property General::Model::Perspectives is invalid or empty then the Perspective selection in View -> Toolbars -> Perspective is not possible.

1. Check the property General::Model::Perspectives in the Rhapsody model to find out whether it is overwritten or empty.

2. Check the site.prp file (siteC++.prp, siteC.prp, ...) if it contains the property General::Model::Perspectives. This can happen by mistake when the entire subject/metaclass General::Model was copied from factory.prp with its default values. In that case the site.prp settings overwrite the SysMLPerspectives profile settings. You need to delete the property from your site.prp file.
