Source Code Options

When you generate code for a particular language, you can set certain options. These include:

  • Create a default constructor
  • Create a destructor
  • Generate copy constructor
  • Select default language
  • Generate methods for implemented interfaces
  • Set the unicode options for code generation.

These options are accessed the Source Code Engineering page of the Options dialog (select the Tools | Options | Source Code Engineering menu option).

Options-SCE

Most of the settings are self-explanatory. The Remove prefixes when generating Get/Set properties field enables you to specify prefixes used in your variable naming conventions, if those prefixes should be removed in the variables' corresponding get/set functions.

Click on the Component Types button to configure what elements should be created for files of any extension found while importing a source code directory.

Note:

It is worthwhile to configure these settings, as they serve as the defaults for all Classes in the model. You can override these on a per-Class basis using the custom settings (from the Code Generation dialog).
