Deleted a Component Model by Accident

[Bernie]

I am a new user of EA and while cleaning up a model I accidently deleted the Component Model.  I have the last diagram to redraw from, but I was wondering how to recover if possible.  All the internal structures are still here just not the model drawing.  Thanks

Backup?
In fact your are lucky you only deleted the diagrams and not the actual elements. Now you can just drag the elements onto a new diagram.

What I do in such cases is the following:

• Create a scratch model from the XMI backup.
• Create a dummy package somewhere inside.
• Locate the missing element(s).
• Move the respective elements into the dummy package.
• Export the dummy package as temp XMI.
• Import the temp package into the real model.
• Move the elements where they belong to.
• Delete the temp package.
• Delete the scratch model.
