Importing XMI Files

PowerDesigner supports the import of an OOM from an XMI file. Since XMI only supports the transfer of objects, PowerDesigner assigns default symbols to imported objects and assigns them to default diagrams.

  1. Select File > Import > XMI File to open the New Model dialog.
  2. Select an object language, specify the first diagram in the model and click OK.
  3. Select the .XML or .XMI file to import and click Open.

    The General tab in the Output window shows the objects being imported. When the import is complete, your specified first diagram opens in the canvas.
