ObjectExtender User's Guide and Reference

Exporting your model to UML Designer

Once you have defined your model with ObjectExtender, you can also export it to UML Designer for further modeling and analysis.

To export your model to UML Designer, follow these steps:

  1. In the Model Browser, select the model containing the model classes you want to export to UML Designer.
  2. Select Export To UML Designer from the Models menu (or the pop-up menu).

    A window appears listing all of the available UML Designer models.

  3. If you want the exported elements to be placed in an existing model, select the target model and then select OK.

    If you want to create a new UML Designer model for the exported elements, select <New> and then select OK. You can then specify the name of the new model, which will be created for you.

  4. When prompted, select the ObjectExtender model classes you want to export. (Remember that if you want to preserve associations between classes, you must export both the source and destination classes.) Then select OK.

When the export operation completes, the target UML Designer model contains a class design and protocol for each exported ObjectExtender model class. See the VisualAge Smalltalk UML Designer Guide for more information about model elements exported from ObjectExtender.
