Merging projects or moving diagrams

[pixelpshr]

I have two separate Sparx EA projects that now need to be combined, or at least I need to copy some of the packages and diagrams from one project to another. Is there something in EA that will help me do this?

You will need to move things into packages (all you want to be exported that is in diagrams) if you have things scattered around. If you have a clear package structure already just export that via XMI and import it in the other model.

Thanks! I will try that.

You can also do a Right Click|Copy / Paste|Copy from the project browser and Right Click|Copy / Paste|Paste. This even works between models, and is often faster then xmi export/import.

But the comment about the package structure remains the same.

Ah sure. This works with V12 (it's a newer feature and IIRC not available before).

I think it has been introduced in v10 or something.

It can't be faster. Behind the scenes that's exactly what's happening.

In terms of keyboard/mouse work it [highlight]is[/highlight] faster

Is this XMI on a per-item (rather than per-package) basis?

If so, it ALWAYS strips GUIDs doesn't it?

Yes

So it would be interesting to add the functionality to inhibit strip GUIDs and have the new items replace the originals (if they had the same GUID) - from different repositories.
