In modeling projects, you can check your models and diagrams to ensure that they meet the constraints that are defined by the Unified Modeling Language (UML). You can also check for compliance with constraints that you defined or that are supplied by other applications.
Validating models and modeling diagrams
At any time during the construction of a model or a modeling diagram, you can check that it is compliant with the defined constraints and ensure that no broken cross-model references exist.Viewing model validation errors and warnings
When you validate a model or modeling diagram, errors and warning messages are displayed in the Problems view. You can navigate directly to the violation in the Model Explorer view, which is helpful when a model is large and contains many model elements.Repairing model validation errors
You can repair the errors that are identified when you validate a model or modeling diagram.Defining path maps for cross-model referencing
In modeling projects, path maps are path variables that specify a location on the file system. You can define path variables so that you can use relative paths when you save models that contain references to other models. This means that users do not have to have the same directory structure to share model files that contain external references.
