Copy & paste diagram elements between .eap project

[unimatrics]

Hello all,

i searched the user guide and forum but didn't find an answer to this question - i hope it hasn't been asked a thousand times before  

My company currently uses EA 6.5.798. Right now we're documenting our business software (german payroll standard software) using that version and we ran into the problem that it seems to be impossible to integrate existing .EAP files into a main file.

I know that it is possible to hyperlink to other projects; my question is, is there a possibility to really integrate the other project into the main project?

Thanks!

You can share packages between different models using controlled packages.

Other than that you would need to put both projects in the one model.

Just to follow on from Simons point, there are a number of methods of copying elements between repositories. XMI import/Export is the simplest method - thru to setting controlled packages.  There is more detailed discussion on multi-project use of these in the deployment whitepaper: http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/resources/whitepapers/index.html
I would suggest you have a look over the options in this.
