Generate the Document
When you have created one or more Model Document elements and, if necessary, a Report Package element, and you have set the document order and established any section numbering you want to apply, you can generate printable documentation from these elements.
You can also use a Model Document element containing a number of separate Packages to generate an XML file for export to another model. See the Generate Model Document XML Help topic.
