Title: Copy a Class
Post by: Mamta on September 03, 2009, 04:17:24 am

Hi,

  How do you copy a class from one package to other without copying class diagram ( I know there is an option to copy classes while copying diagram)  ?

Regards
MS

Copy the class (press Ctrl-C, works best on a diagram)
Go to a diagram in the destination package
Right-Click and choose "Paste as New" (Ctrl-Shift-V)

Hi,

  Well as stated in query,  I know that we can copy a class from a package to other through a class diagram.

Here I need to copy the class from a package to other, change the class.

Look into Deep Copy. You might have to create a temporary diagram to hold the class (or classes) you want to copy. Once you've completed the deep copy you can delete the diagram.

Another approach is to export to XMI and then import not forgetting to check the strip guids option.

Obviously this is fine if you don't want to persist links.
