Title: Maintaining a connector relationship in a CSV file
Post by: andykennelly on March 01, 2013, 02:31:16 am

I drag 2 elements onto a diagram and make a connection between them. If I then delete the diagram that connection is maintained, of course..... i.e. if I view one of the elements in the traceability pane I see the connection to the other element - ALSO - if I create a new diagram and drag the elements on to it, the connection appears.

Now ..... can I retain this relationship in a CSV export, i.e. can I do an export, delete the elements in EA and then import and see the connection relationship in place???? I can't see how I'd do that with any of the Available Element Fields in the CSV Import/export specification window.

For that reason they invented XMI. In that format you can export relationships. How would you do that with any csv given the fact that you can have many-to-many relationships?
