Copying in Sparx

[Peter Bull]

Hi

I have created a deployment node containing components (one component contains other components).

How can I copy the node (including components and their dependencies) to another package in the same model?  I need an almost identically configured DR node and also the same node in other environments and do not wish to re-create it manually.

Regards

Pete

The only way I know is to export to xmi and then import with the option "Strip GUID"

Apart from using XMI, elements selected in a diagram can Copied & Pasted as "New", but this will not include the conectors.
If it is used frequently you migh like to look at using a UML Pattern - see:

Thanks chaps.

I copied by export/import of the entire package (I wanted to retain relationships) and will probably use patterns for another project I am working on.
