UML Designer User's Guide

Retrieving class designs

Retrieving classes creates Class Design elements based on existing Smalltalk classes. This transform can create a class design for a single class, a selected group of classes, or all the classes in an application. This transform is available from the Relationships Browser and from the Class Diagrammer; see Retrieving multiple classes at once for more information.

The class or classes you want to retrieve must be visible from within your model, which means they must be either in the model application or in a prerequisite application. For each selected class, UML Designer creates a Class Design element, with a traceability link back to the class as the real implementing class for the class design.

You can also create a class design and manually link it to an existing class, either from the Relationships Browser or the Class Diagrammer.
