Title: Project Template in MDG
Post by: andrej.seben on January 25, 2018, 01:55:37 am

Hi,

Is it possible to embed project template xml directly to custom MDG xml file? Maybe in base64 form?

Thank's a lot.
Best regards
Andrej

Maybe this:

gives you some info.

PeterHeintz thanks for your reply.
So the conclusion is that it can not be embedded into the MDG? Because I did not see any solution in your topic.

Yes, that is the conclusion!

Not sure why you are asking about embedding project templates in MDG. If its so you can use a wizard to create a structure in Sparx then I export the template in xml format and use model templates in the MDG. I add the following code to the MTS that generates the MDG as an example

Code: [Select]

<ModelTemplates>
<Model name="FEAF V2.0" description="FEAF V2.0 Reference Model" location="FEAF.xml" default="yes" icon="34" filter="Enterprise Architecture" />
<Model name="GEA-NZ V3.1" description="NZ Government Enterprise Architecture Reference Model V3.1" location="GEANZ V3-1.xml" default="yes" icon="34" filter="Enterprise Architecture" />
<Model name="APQC PCF V6.1.0" description="APQC Process Classification Framework" location="APQC PCF.xml" default="yes" icon="34" filter="Enterprise Architecture" />
</ModelTemplates>

I put the xml project template files and the MDG file in one location and reference it in Sparx EA from the MDG dialog advanced button.

If the template refers to the structure of the model, with maybe some strawman diagrams, maybe a UML profile would be a good way to do it?  Then the profile could be included in the MDG.
