I have an IBD defining the content of block, which includes nested blocks, where:

Block A - shown as a box (rectangle)

Block A contains:

  • Block A1 shown as a box (rectangle)

And Block A1 contains

  • Block X
  • Block Y
  • Block Z where all three of Block X, Block Y, and Block Z are displayed as just text under the parts heading

Question: How can I make EA display Block X, Block Y, and Block Z as boxes (rectangles)?

An example (image) would help. – Geert Bellekens
You should probably cross-post on Sparx' forum. There are some SysML users. Here it's rather Geert and me. – qwerty_so

  1. In the IBD select :Block A1.
  2. In the Parts/Properties tab in the Features window (right click->Features->Parts/Properties) you should see Block X, Block Y, Block Z. Note there is a column for Visible in which all entries should be False.
  3. To show Block X, Y and Z as nested rectangles on the IBD just click on the checkbox for each row.
