Creating new UML modeling projects

You can open, close, save, and delete projects as well as the files that belong to a project, including models. When you create a modeling project, you can create both a new model and a new diagram.

To create a new UML modeling project, a blank model, and a new diagram:
  1. Click File > New > Project.
  2. In the New Project wizard, on the Select a wizard page, click UML Project and click Next.
  3. On the UML Modeling Project page, type a Project name, specify a workspace Directory, and click Next.
  4. On the Create UML Model page, in the File types list, click UML Modeling.
  5. In the Templates list, click Blank Model.
  6. In the File name field, type a name for the model.
  7. In the Default diagram type list, click a diagram to create in the new modeling project.
    Note: If you clicked a different template in the Templates list, the Default diagram type field is not available.
  8. Click Finish.
    Note: If you have cross-referenced existing projects, the Project window opens. Click the projects that you want to reference and click Finish.
  9. If the Confirm Perspective Switch window opens, click Yes.
The Modeling perspective opens. A new project, a UML Model Editor (.emx) file, a blank model, and a diagram appear in the Model Explorer view.
