CSV Export
It is possible to export information about elements from your project in Enterprise Architect to a CSV text file. In this operation you make use of a CSV export specification.
If you intend to re-import the exported information into Enterprise Architect at some point, it is recommended that you include the GUID field in the CSV export specification. This helps Enterprise Architect to identify and update existing elements, rather than create duplicates.

Types |
List the element types to export: leave blank for all, or enter a comma-separated list of types. If you specify element types, ONLY elements of those types are exported; therefore, to enable the Preserve Hierarchy option in the specification to operate (if selected) you must include Package as an element type, otherwise no Packages are exported in which to preserve the hierarchy. If you do not specify any element types, all elements including Packages are exported and the hierarchy can be preserved.
