Updating a reverse engineered project
« on: August 24, 2010, 06:15:14 pm »
Hi,

I'm new to EA and I'm using version 8.0.860.
I reverse engineered a c++ project with about 400 header files which are all in the same directory and all in the same namespace; I manually created packages and class diagrams. Then I changed the underlying source code with the Microsoft Visual Studio: I removed/renamed some files/classes and added some new classes. Now I want to update the uml diagrams so that they match the underlying source code again without losing my previous work in EA.

How should I proceed?

Thanks for your help,
Matthias

Re-import the source directory.  Make sure you're importing from the same location (or use the local paths feature).

EA will not be able to identify if you have renamed classes, to preserve those some manual renaming in EA will be needed to preserve your work.
