Copy Packages Between Projects
It is possible to copy and move individual Packages between projects, exporting and importing the Packages as XMI files. You can also duplicate larger structures, such as complete models or projects. This gives you a high level of flexibility in building a project from re-usable parts and from elements produced in widely-dispersed geographic regions.
