Use the Rational Rose Model Import Preferences page
of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard to
specify various settings that control how the imported Rose model
appears. This topic provides a detailed explanation of each preference you
can specify on the page.
The Rational Rose Model Import Preferences page
is the last page of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard.
- Enable unmapped Rose metamodel properties
- You can use this check box to activate a profile called Rose.epx
that specifies whether specific Rose properties that do not map
to UML 2.0 appear in your imported model. By default, even though
specific Rose properties do not have corresponding UML 2.0 counterparts,
they import as stereotypes. When you select the check box, the Rose
properties that do not map to UML 2.0 will appear in the Properties
view in the stereotypes category. If you clear the check box, none
of the Rose properties are imported.
- Interpret UML 2.0 conventions in the Rose model
- With this check box, you can control how specific class diagram-related
model elements map on import. If you clear the check box, none of
the mappings are applied to the imported model. Most of the affected model
elements are related to classes and association ends. For more information
on the specific mappings, refer to the help topic on class diagram
mapping.
- Show migration problems in the Problems view
- You can use this check box to display Rose import problems such
as error, warning, and informational messages in the Problems view.
Note: Error and warning messages always appear in both
the log file and the Problems view,
while informational message appear in the Problems view
only when you select this check box.
- Maximum number of problems to generate
- With this check box, you can define the maximum number of error,
warnings, and informational messages that appear in the Problems
view. If your model surpasses the maximum number of problems, an
additional warning message appears in the Problems view; this warning
message indicates how many problems are reported as markers and
how many additional errors and warnings appear in the log
file.
- Use Rose colors
- You can use this check box to import the colors specified in
the Rose model instead of the current Software Architect and Software
Modeler preferences.
- If you clear the check box, all shapes appear in the color scheme
used in Software Architect or Software Modeler.
- Use Rose font
- With this check box, you can import the fonts specified in the
Rose model instead of the current Software Architect or Software
Modeler preferences.
- If you clear the check box, fonts used in Software Architect
or Software Modeler are used in the imported model.
- Create views of state and activity actions
- You can use this check box to import OnEvent actions
as self-transitions in the diagram editor. When you clear the check
box, OnEvent actions are imported, but they do not appear in the
diagram editor. If desired, you can drag actions most important
to your diagram from the Model Explorer view to
the diagram editor.
- For activity diagrams, all actions such as entry, do, exit,
and event (which are nested within the structured activity
node diagram element) appear in the diagram editor. These diagram
elements cascade within the shape compartment of the parent node.
Note: In Rose, you can hide the actions on individual
states. If a Rose model contains states with hidden actions, the
actions import as hidden as well, regardless of the Create
view of state and activity actions preference setting.
- Honor diagram element autosize setting for selected
diagram types
- You can use these check boxes to control the automatic sizing
of diagram elements on a per diagram basis. When you select a diagram
check box such as Use Case, the diagram elements are resized based
on the autosize property of the Rose model diagram view; model elements
in a Rose diagram that have autosize disabled are never autosized
during the import process. When you clear the check box, the diagram
elements import as they appear in the original Rose diagrams.
Note: You cannot modify autoresize settings for sequence
diagrams; you can modify the setting for all other diagram types.
- Restore Defaults
- With this button, you can return all of the Rose model import
preferences to the original state.
