Use the Import Options page of the Rational XDE Model Import wizard to specify various settings that control the appearance of diagrams in imported XDE models. This topic provides an explanation of each option you can specify on the page.
The default style in the Rational UML modeling products is Decoration and Text, which shows a stereotype both as a small icon and as text in the name compartment. If the stereotype does not have an icon or no stereotype is applied, then an icon is always displayed, such as a white “C” in a green circle for an unstereotyped class.
The default XDE style is Label, which shows applied stereotypes as «stereotype» in lists.
The default style in the Rational UML modeling products is Decoration, which is not available in XDE. If a stereotype is applied to a member, and the stereotype has an icon defined, then the stereotype is rendered as a small icon next to the name; otherwise, the stereotype name is displayed.
The default XDE style is Text, which provides one-character symbols such as - (minus sign) for private, + (plus sign) for public, and so on. Another option is Icon, which shows small symbols next to the member name.
The default style in the Rational UML modeling products is Decoration. Just like the corresponding XDE option of Icon, this displays small icons; however, the icons have changed in UML 2.0.
The default option,Retain XDE class only if needed, imports the association, class, and AssociatedClass relationship in XDE into a UML 2.0 Association Class as long as the association and class are in the same XDE model.
The Always retain XDE class option imports an XDE class as an individual UML 2.0 class even if its contents are copied into the newly created UML 2.0 association class, which combine the association, class, and AssociatedClass relationship in XDE.
