CAVEAT: This loses the direction indicators on Ports typed by Blocks with flow properties (but is fine if ItemFlows show the direction, or for "contract ports"). TIP: UML/SysML: MagicDraw/Cameo: Consider showing the constraint parameter name and type label inside the small rectangular parameter symbol on SysML Parametric Diagrams. Dr Darren swears by it!

Next snippet Port labels appear in the same format as properties on the end of an association. Port labels can appear inside port rectangles. Related snippets Related snippets (backlinks) Port labels appear in the same format as properties on the end of an association. Port labels can appear inside port rectangles. Nested ports that are not on proxy ports can appear anywhere on the boundary of the owning port rectangle that does not overlap the boundary of the rectangle the owning port overlaps. Port rectangles can have port rectangles overlapping their boundaries, to notate a port type that has ports (nested ports). Ports that are not proxy or full can appear in block compartments labeled ports. Ports are specialized kinds of properties, and can be shown in same way as other properties. They can appear in block compartments in the same format as other properties of their owning blocks, or as the ends of associations, with the port appearing ... All ports and nested ports (i.e., proxy, full, and ports with no stereotype applied), and their type definitions (e.g., interface blocks, blocks) can include compartments with textual and graphical representations to display their features ...
