Import modeltemplate to technology MDG
« on: December 16, 2015, 10:25:17 pm »
Hello,

I have my "OwnTechnology MDG". And I have some "ModelTemplates" for my OwnTechnology MDG. I know I can insert in my .mst file a like to my modeltemplates, e.g. newproject.xml.
Link: http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/building_models/model_templates2.html

It is not enough to insert the OwnTechnology.xml via "Project/MDG Technology Import". The Problem is that I have to copy "newproject.xml" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\ModelPatterns" manual.
Is it possible to Import "newproject.xml" to my "OwnTechnology.xml", so that it is enough for the user to import OwnTechnology.xml via "Project/MDG Technology Import"?

Your template xml files just need to live in the same directory as the MDG technology xml files.

You don't need to import them and you shouldn't.  It's much simplier for each client just to see any updated files when they start rather than having to reimport and fix everytime you want to make a change.
