Import XMI as model pattern

[MatthiasVDE]

Has EA the possibility to import XMI files that can be used as model patterns in the model wizard?

[Geert Bellekens]

yes

When I add a model pattern it appears default under "Other" in the list under "Technology". But can you manage the different categories in that list?
For example, creating a new category and add your created patterns to that new category?

Thanks,

Yes, you can customize the grouping, but only in EA 13.

So if I add these attributes to an mdg file it wont't work in 12.1?

It's not going to fall over, if that's what you mean. The new attributes will be ignored by older versions of EA; the rest of the technology will work as before.
