Title: gsn mdg file
Post by: GrahamL on June 01, 2020, 09:39:39 pm
Hi
I am trying to import the MDG file from here https://community.sparxsystems.com/community-resources/893-mdg-technology-for-gsn-goal-structure-notation
I downloaded the file and try to import by Specialise->Publish->Import MDG and select the file
I receive no errors but I cannot see any options to create GSN diagrams

Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks

You might have selected a perspective that hides this particular MDG.
Try setting your perpective to All
