Creating a model from a shadow package can help to reduce memory
consumption and save other system resources. Typically, you should create
a model from a shadow package when the shadow package is core to your system
and multiple project sets share it.
About this task
Before you create a model from a shadow package, you should decide
which shadow package is a good candidate for creating a model in a separate
project.
To create a model from a shadow package:
Procedure
- 1. Create a modeling project to contain the new model:
- Click File > New > Model
Project.
- On the Model Project page, type a name for project, specify
a location for it, and clear the Create new model in project check
box.
- Click Finish.
- In the Project Explorer view, right-click
a shadow package; then click Create Model from Shadow Package.
- In the Create Model from Shadow Package window, select the modeling
project that you created, type a name for the model, and click Finish.
What to do next
The shadow package is moved into a new model in the new modeling
project . You can share this project among different project
sets. In the original location of the shadow package, an element import relationship
is created that points to the new model.
