Using an external editor

About this task

If you use an external editor to edit code for a IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® model, you can set up the Developer for C++ and C software so that it respects the structure of the code and preserves this structure when code is regenerated from the model.

To specify an external editor when you edit code:

Procedure

  1. Select File > Project Properties.
  2. Select the Properties tab.
  3. Navigate to the General::Model::EditorCommandLine property.
  4. Click in the property value call in the right column to activate the field, then click the ellipsis (...) to open the Browse for File window.
  5. Browse to the location of the editor you want to use (for example, Notepad) and select the editor. Click OK to close the window. The product displays the path in the property value field.
  6. Click OK.
