jscript libraries for Sparx

the following helper libraries are in Sparx jScript create a "User Scripts" folder, then create a new jscript .js file for each of the following

"Library.js" base shared library

"IncludeMissingParts.js" will look for missing items in this package and add to the diagram if not there

"IncludeLInkedParts.js" to find referenced parts on selected items and add to the current diagram

"set-stereotype.js" set the STEP stereotype for selected diagram items

uml resources for Sparx

this Sparx Resource file can be used to create colour profiles for UML types.

"UML-Reference-Stereotypes.sparxea.xml" Sparx->Configure->Model->Transfer->Import Reference Data, then select file and choose specifications
