Options - Attribute/Operations
Your use of attributes and operations can be configured in a number of ways. You can set options to:
| • | Set the default name generated from imported attributes |
| • | Generate methods for implemented interfaces |
| • | Delete model attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization |
| • | Delete model methods not included in the code during reverse synchronization |
| • | Delete code from features contained in the model during forward synchronization |
| • | Delete model associations and aggregations that correspond to attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization |
| • | Define whether or not the bodies of methods are included and saved in the model when reverse engineering |
| • | Create attributes in quick succession, clearing the Attributes dialog when you click on Save so that you can enter another attribute name |
You configure these options on the Attribute/Operations page of the Options dialog.
