Import EA generated XMI (1.0/1.2) files

[nicholas_yue]

Hi,

 I could not find any SVG export in EA so I am exporting it to Gentleware Poseidon to generate the SVG diagram.

 When I tried to import the XMI file, Poseidon claims that the EA generated file is not MDR compliant.

 Anyone know the trick to transfer XMI from EA to Poseidon?

 I thought the whole idea of XMI is to ease model interchange.

Cheers

You could try Rose XMI. Tools/Options/XMI Specifications

You could try Rose XMI. Tools/Options/XMI Specifications

Tried that, still not importing properly.

I read the documentation in EA about limitation in XMI, maybe it's just my luck.

Hi nicholas_yue,

EA doesn't have the option to write out the diagrams in SVG format.

As a workaround for generating SVG diagrams, export to Unisys/Rose Format XMI1.0 in EA by :

* CTRL + ALT + E
* Check both Unisys/Rose Format and XMI 1.0 options

Import the file in 'MagicDraw UML' and then save the graphics as SVG file  

Cheers
