Synchronize Model and Code

You might either:

•Synchronize the code for a package of Classes against the model in the Project Browser, or
•Regenerate code from a batch of Classes in the model

In such processes, there might be items in the code that are not present in the model.

If you want to trap those items and resolve them manually, select the On forward synch, prompt to delete code features not in model checkbox in the Options - Attributes and Operations dialog, so that the Synchronize Element <package name> .<element name> dialog displays, providing options to respond to each item.

Reference

On the Synchronize Element <package name> .<element name> dialog, select one or more items and process them as indicated below:
