Title: Import of many objects in a structure
Post by: ADucci on August 17, 2012, 10:17:22 pm

Hi.. I am trying to import a Hierarchy of Classes into EA.. i have looked at the XMI import and that would work if i could generate the XMI structure, however all i have is a Spreadsheet with data as follows:
-car (attributes)
   -door (attributes)
      -handle (attributes)
      -lock (attributes)
   -engine (attributes)
      -starter (attributes)
      ...
I tried the CSV import, and that works, however i would like to have the class hierarchy defined by the import also...
any ideas?

You'll still need to tweak the code a bit to get it to do exactly what you need.

A (little) bit more info can be found on my blog:
