If you noticed my previous message, I couldn't write an XMI file with the free trial version. I didn't get any answers to my post, so I went ahead an bought it anyway (Professional version), and I still can't get my project to write to XMI. Is it because my project was created in the free trial version? HELP!!!!
Thanks,
Lorin Johnson

Hi Lorin,
I have never had problems exporting XMI. Can you tell me what precisely happens when you do the export?

Thanks for replying...I think I got it. I was just typing a name into the filename text box, and when I clicked the Export button, absolutely nothing happened. When I browsed using the "..." button, the whole directory path went into the text box and export did just fine. I think there's a problem there.
Thanks for your help. By trying to define the problem better for you, I was able to correct it.

P.S. - I still have the problem of not having the pop-up box that asks if I want to create an instance when I drag a class onto a diagram. Any ideas?

Hi,
glad it is resolved! The file probably got created in the current directory before (the EA directory? Windows directory? Temp?)
I do not know how to get the dialog back, but there may be a workaround - create a new model, export your existing model into XMI (now you know how!) and import it into the new one. I have not tested this, but I would guess the settings like the one you are looking at will be reset to their default options.
I am sure there is an easier way, but I have no idea what would it be! :-)

Answer to the P.S. question: Hold down Ctrl while you drag.
Best regards
