Code Template Framework
When you use Enterprise Architect to generate code from a model, or transform the model, the system refers to the Code Template Framework (CTF) for the parameters that define how it should:
| · | Forward engineer a UML model |
| · | Generate Behavioral Code |
| · | Perform a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) Transformation |
A range of standard templates is available for the direct generation of code and for transformation; if you do not want to use the standard CTF configurations, you can customize them to meet your needs.

Code Templates |
When forward engineering a Class model, the code templates define how the skeletal code is to be generated for a given programming language. The templates for a language are automatically associated with the language. The templates are written as plain text with a syntax that shares some aspects of both mark-up languages and scripting languages.

Model Transformation Templates |
Model Transformation Templates provide a fully configurable method of defining how Model Driven Architecture (MDA) Transformations convert model elements and model fragments from one domain to another. This process is two-tiered. It creates an intermediary language (which can be viewed for debugging) which is then processed to create the objects.

Behavioral Code Generation Templates |
Enterprise Architect supports user-definable code generation of the UML Behavioral models. This applies the standard Code Template Framework but includes specific Enterprise Architect Simulation Library (EASL) code generation macros. |
