XMI export - strip associations to external reference
« on: February 09, 2021, 06:53:04 pm »
As a user exporting the XMI of one package of my model
When the classes of the exported package have associations to other classes of other packages (which are not exported)
I would like to strip all these associations to such "not included" elements

Anyone knows if there's a quick way to do this? I've found nothing in the publish XMI settings.
Thanks

What do you mean by "strip"? Delete associations?

- Export to xmi
- Import to a new model
- Export to xmi again from the new model.

Well, that's quite a massive structural change. You shouldn't even think about that. Except you got plenty of time to clean up afterwards. Good luck with proceeding...
