Export to XMI

The Export Package to XMI dialog is used to export a package to various XMI (XML-based) formats. This dialog, by default, allows exporting to either XMI 1.1 or XMI 2.1. The exported XMI file contains all the information required for completely round-tripping the package within Enterprise Architect; that is, performing Enterprise Architect-to-Enterprise Architect transfers.

Access:  Click on a package in Project Browser, then:

        Project | Model Import/Export | Export Package to XMI File
        Right-click | Import/Export | Export Package to XMI

Use to:

• Move Enterprise Architect model elements between models, for distributed development, manual version control and other benefits

Notes:

• In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect, if security is enabled you must have Export XMI permission to export to XMI
• Alternate Images used in the package being exported are not included in the exported XMI file unless the Export Alternate Images option is selected in the XML Specifications section of the Options dialog
• The Log file for the package being exported is not generated unless the Write Log option is selected in the XML Specifications section of the Options dialog
