SysMLv1: MagicDraw/Cameo: Oh no, I lost my part or reference property? Where did it go? The Symbol Properties option for 'Show Association ends as Attributes' may help you find it!

It is recommended that every new MagicDraw/Cameo SysML user explore the 'Show Association ends as Attributes' option under the Symbol Properties for Block symbols. The image above shows some cases.

The usual mode is 'Without Association Symbol', although you can use 'All' to show a Property always, even when it is also show as the 'memberEnd' of an Association. The mode 'None' is useful sometimes, but can also seem to make Properties simply "vanish"! As always you can check in the model browser too.

Make sure you have the symbol options display level set to 'All' (not even 'Expert' is enough) then leave it that way forever!

Webel: MagicDraw/Cameo: Set EVERY element properties & symbol properties filter to 'All' (yes, not just 'Expert', to 'All', even if you are a "novice" on your first project) in EVERY dialog and every project option setting. Use the search filters!

MagicDraw/Cameo: If you want to show a Property or Port listed both in its corresponding compartment on a Class or Block symbol and as the end of an Association in the same diagram, set the display option Show Association Ends As Attributes/Ports to 'all'

SysMLv1: A part Property or reference Property is not necessarily a 'memberEnd' or 'ownedEnd' of an Association ('association' or 'owningAssociation'). But an Association always as at least 2 'memberEnd' Properties. (With some MagicDraw/Cameo tool tips.)
