    Hello all,

    I can’t seem to find an answer to this, so, I am posting here…

    I have two models in two different projects. I am trying to consolidate the two models into one. So, I performed these steps:

      1) Model A was exported to XMI
      2) Model B was opened
      3) While a diagram was open in Model B, I picked the UML menu and import…
      4) I specified the file that I exported Model A to
      5) I selected import.
      6) The dialog closed.

    I got none of the diagrams from the first model (Model A) in Model b. No errors, no exceptions in the .log file, nothing.

    Is there something else I must do?

    Thanks in advance![/list]

    Rcobb1,
    The XMI doesnt contain information about the diagrams. It only contains the UML Model as diagram specifications are not standardized across tools. The basic idea here is to have cross tool support.
    When you import the XMI into another UMR you can see the model elements in the outline view using the package-centric view.

    So, basically, I cannot export one UMR to XMI, then import that XMI into a different UMR? I have to re-create all those drawings in the new UMR file? Ouch!

    Any clue if/when cross-tool support will be added?

    The XMI 1.0 export that we have *is* for cross-tool support. Other than diagrams (which are not standard XMI data) all other information can be exported to the XMI. Do you mean support for diagram import UMR <–> UMR ?

    Yes, that was what I was looking for. I wanted to import a few specific diagrams from one UMR to another.

    Rcobb1,
    I have filed the issue internally. Thank you for your feedback.
