Changing the edit settings on regions

Changes made to a region in the Model Explorer view are reflected in the diagrams owned by the same state machine and changes made to a region in the diagram editor are reflected in the Model Explorer view. You can set the canonical properties value of a region to false so that changes made to a region in the Model Explorer view are not reflected in the corresponding state machine diagrams and so that a region can be edited independently of other diagrams in the same state machine.

Before you can change the edit settings on regions, you must have a state machine diagram open in the Modeling perspective.
To change the edit settings on regions:
  1. Select a region.
  2. In the Properties view, click the Advanced tab.
  3. On the Advanced page, for the Canonical property, in the Value box, select false.
