Export to XMI
The Export Package to XMI dialog is used to export a package to various XMI (XML-based) formats. This dialog, by default, allows exporting to either XMI 1.1 or XMI 2.1. The exported XMI file contains all the information required for completely round-tripping the package within Enterprise Architect; that is, performing Enterprise Architect-to-Enterprise Architect transfers.
Access Click on a package in Project Browser, then:
Project | Model Import/Export | Export Package to XMI ( Ctrl+Alt+E )
Right-click | Import/Export | Export Package to XMI file
