Using the UML-to-C++ transformation to generate UML visualization diagrams

You can generate UML visualization diagrams when you run the UML-to-C++ transformation. UML visualization diagrams provide a graphical representation of the C++ code that you can edit at a graphical or code level.

Before you apply the UML-to-C++ transformation, you should read the information that is available at Modeling > Transform > Configure Transformations. From the Transformations/Configurations list, select UML to C++. On the Transformation Description page, click View Transformation Documentation.

You must be in the Modeling perspective.

To use the UML-to-C++ transformation to generate a UML visualization diagram:
  1. Click Modeling > Transform > Configure Transformations.
  2. In the Configure Transformations window, from the Transformations/Configurations list, select a transformation configuration.
  3. Click the Properties tab.
  4. On the Properties page, select the Create UML visualization diagrams check box.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Click Close.
    Note: The generation of UML visualization diagrams increases both the time it takes to generate C++ code and memory consumption.

Visualization diagrams are generated the next time that you run this transformation configuration.
