Project Property Setting can be opened in the following ways:

Enabling/disabling Active facet (astah* System Safety)

From version 9.0.0, active facet enable/disable functionality has been implemented.
You can have only the facets(models) you need in your project.
Settings can be changed from System Properties - Project when creating a new project.
The existing project’s settings are in Project Property Setting.

Note

  • By disabling unused facets, the structure tree becomes neat and it becomes easier to find the model.

  • The menu will have inactive items that are not available for use.

Warning

Please take a backup as needed before executing.

If you choose to disable any active facets, all data associated with those disabled facets will be permanently deleted, and this action cannot be undone.
