Domain Model to Design Model

[scs]

In your book “Applying UML and Patterns – An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development”, Craig Larman say:  

“This is a key idea in OO: Use software class names in the domain layer inspired from names in the domain model, with objects having domain-familiar information and responsibilities.” … “This supports a low representational gap between our mental and software models.”

I have a domain model with several conceptual classes, and I want to copy one conceptual class to software class in domain layer (or design model). How can I make this in Enterprise Architect?

Hi SCS,

I believe this is what the new Transformation Templates are there for (under Configuration menus).  I've had a "play" with them and they seem to be what you are after.  Perhaps others who've more experience with them can add their thoughts.

HTH,
Paolo

In EA 5.0 you can copy a class and "paste as new" on another diagram. Very handy!
