Creating elements
93+
-----------------
94+
95+
**From the diagram view**
96+
97+
[![Element Creation](README/create-element-diagram.jpg)]
98+
99+
Key:
100+
101+
1. Choose the type of element you want to create from the diagram palette
102+
103+
2. Click in the diagram to position the new element. Click again on the element to rename it (or click on the F2 keyboard button)
104+
105+
**From the UML model explorer**
106+
107+
To create your first element, right-click on the root package and then on 'Create element'. Choose the kind of UML/BPMN element you want to create:
108+

[![Element Creation](README/create-element-uml-explorer.jpg)]
110+
111+
112+
**Sibling creation**
113+
114+
To create a series of elements, simply select the original element in the model explorer, then click on sibling button as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created empty and named with an incremental number. Sibling elements are created within the same container.
115+
116+
117+
**Clone creation**
118+
119+
To clone an element, simply select it in the UML/BPMN explorer, then click on clone button as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created with the same sub-elements as the original one, and will be named the same.

139+
Note: By default, the wizard shows the applicable diagrams for the selected model element. Click on the "Show only applicable diagrams and matrices" to show all existing diagrams.
140+
141+
**Create elements in the diagram**
142+
143+
To create elements in your diagram, you can either use the left hand side palette, or drag&drop existing elements from the UML explorer.
