Copy diagramm from file to file
« on: March 03, 2003, 06:56:23 am »
Is it possible to copy whole diagramm ( or objects from it ) from one .eap file to another?
How can I do this?

Hi Lev,

You have, at least, the following possibilities:
- Export the package that holds the diagram and(!) its elements to XML and import it into the other file. Look for controlled packages in the help and the forum;
- Save diagram to file (rightclick on background of diagram), place e.g. a boundary object on your other files empty diagram and associate the saved image to the boundary object;

If you would like the diagrams to be consistent over time, the first option is better. The elements and the diagram become shared elements using e.g. controlled packages.

Hope this helps. Greetings,
Tjerk
