Joining projects

[zyx]

Dear all,

    Again I apologize for my bad english.

    How can I join two projects? I have part of one project in a EAP file and the other part in another EAP file and I want to join the two projects so to become them in a single project. Is it possible?

Yes. You can export project A into an XMI file.
Then you import that XMI file into your project B.

Right, but I didn't got it. Can you say how to do it step-by-step? The help doesn't help...

Besides simple XMI Import/Export of projects/packages (wich is fairly well documented here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/faq/import_xmi.html), you can use version controlled projects which will synchronize using the XMI Import/Export mechanism through version control system repositories (see: http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/projects_and_teams/versioncontrol.html).

What version of EA are you using? The Help reference that Patrick provided is quite old. For EA version 9.3, try:

http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/projects_and_teams/exporttoxmi.html

That is, however, lagging behind release 10; we are currently working towards updating the web Help topics for the latest release.

It is useful for others to link you to the web help, but once you have a rough idea of the topic I recommend that you locate that topic in the Help provided with your installer (click on one of the many Help icons in the user interface). That Help will be more closely aligned with your version of the product.
