Importing UML 2.1 or XMI interchange models into your workspace

You can import UML 2.1 (.uml) models or XMI interchange (.xmi) models and save them as EMX models.

About this task

To import a UML 2.1 or XMI interchange model:

Procedure

  1. Click File > Import.
  2. In the Import window, expand Other, and complete one of the following steps:
    • To import a UML 2.1 model, click UML 2.1 Model and then click Next.
    • To import to an XMI interchange model, click UML 2.1 XMI Interchange Model and then click Next.
  3. On the UML Model page, in the Source Files field, specify the models to import and click OK.
  4. In the Into folder field, specify the target directory for the imported models and click OK.
  5. Optional: To open the models when they are imported, select the Open Imported Models check box.
  6. Optional: To create new identifiers for all imported model elements, select the Recreate IDs check box.

    Select this option if you do not want to maintain a connection between the original and the imported files. If you plan to modify your original models and then re-import them with the new format, clear this check box to preserve any cross-model references to other models in UML format.

  7. Click Finish.
