Exporting instances

You can group instances into a file to be exported. You can save this file, which has an xmi extension, to any directory. When it is exported, it is available for any subsequent import with the Import function of the Design Explorer view.

Procedure

  1. In the Design Explorer view, open a location (it must be represented by open location).
  2. Right-click the location line, an entity line, or an instance line and select Export. The export wizard opens:
  3. In this wizard, you must complete the following actions:
    1. Select the instances to be exported. The wizard displays all the instances of the current location. If you do not want to export them all, you can clear the instances that you want to discard. You can also click None and select the instances to be exported.
    2. Enter or select the export file that will contain all the selected instances. You can either enter it directly in the destination field, with its whole file path, or select it by clicking Browse.
    3. Click Finish.

Results

The export file, with an xmi extension, is then created in the specified location. It contains all the selected instances and is ready to be imported.
