Getting started with Papyrus

1. Installation
If you do not have Eclipse installed, you may want to download the
stand-alone version of Papyrus (102 MB.)

If you already have Eclipse installed, you are only required

to add Papyrus to your configuration.

2. Initial Setup
To begin using Papyrus, launch Eclipse (or stand-alone Papyrus) and
navigate to Window -> Open Perspective -> Other, select
Papyrus and press OK.

To create a new Project, navigate to File -> New -> Papyrus

Project. Enter your project name and, if desired, change the default
location. Advance to the next screen, check the UML box, and press
Finish.

3. Use Case Diagrams

To create a new Use Case Diagram, right-click your newly-created
model on the Model Explorer and select New Diagram ->
UML UseCase Diagram. Name your diagram and press OK.

A file called "model.di" will now be open and ready for editing under
the Model Explorer. You may find elements relevant to you within
the Palette window. Use Cases, Actors, and Subject Area are all
 contained within the Nodes category and the arrows used to relate
these elements are contained within the Links category.

You may add objects by selecting them on the Palette and clicking

anywhere on the model.di whitespace. To edit an object's attributes,
select the object and change the desired fields on
the Properties window. To create a relationship, select an arrow,
click the first actor, and release the mouse over the second actor.

4. Export Image
To be able to export images, you will need to install this plugin first.
Note that the file you need to download in SourceForge, is located
within a folder called Image Export Plug In.

To export an image, navigate to File -> Export.. -> Other

-> Image of Current Diagram, select the desired Image
Format, and press Finish.
