Default packages with linked documents
« on: January 22, 2010, 10:22:31 pm »
Dear,

Is there way to create a profile (or something like) that includes a default set of packages and linked documents.

Greeting

Theo,

What you could do is create the package structure including the linked documents etc.. and export it as xmi.
You can then import the xmi (use strip GUID's) to create a copy of the standard structure.

Or you could write an addin to do this kind of thing, but that is probably going to be a lot more work.

IMHO it should be sufficient to provide templates for these with an MDG technology file (if you're developing a profile anyway). It's not strictly necessary that you have to develop an AddIn along with these.
In principle it does the same what Geert proposed, but you have these template models available in the 'New Model' wizard.
