  • Generate methods for implemented interfaces
  • Delete model attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization
  • Delete model methods not included in the code during reverse synchronization
  • Delete code from features contained in the model during forward synchronization
  • Delete model associations and aggregations that correspond to attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization
  • Define whether or not the bodies of methods are included and saved in the Enterprise Architect model when reverse engineering
  • Create attributes in quick succession, clearing the dialog when you click on Save so that you can enter another attribute name
