Exporting a model in XMI format

Introduction

The Objecteering XMI export operation is used to generate XMI files from model built in Objecteering.

The "Export" command can only be run from a package.

Key:

· "Select a file": This field is used to select the path of the file (which may or may not already exist) to which you want to export.

· "Objecteering/Objecteering compatibility": When this option has been activated, more information will be exported, ensuring maximum compatibility in the case of a re-import into Objecteering. Some information available in Objecteering but not present in UML2 can be retrieved in this way.

· "Progression": This progress bar shows the progress of the export operation.

Partial export

With Objecteering XMI, you can carry out a partial export. To do this, simply run the export command from any of your project's "Package" type elements.

The scope of the export will then be limited to the sub-elements of the package from which the command is run. Any links to elements outside this package are severed.
