PowerDesigner supports the export of an OOM to an XMI file. Since XMI only supports the transfer of objects, any associated PowerDesigner symbols and diagrams are not preserved during the export.
PowerDesigner exports to UML container objects as follows:
UML Container | PowerDesigner Object | PowerDesigner Diagram |
---|---|---|
Activity |
Composite Activity |
Activity Diagram |
State Machine |
Composite State |
State Diagram |
Interaction |
Package |
Sequence Diagram, Communication Diagram, or Interaction Overview Diagram |
The General tab in the Output window shows the objects being exported. You can open the resulting XMI file in any modeling tool that supports this exchange format or a code generator such as Java, CORBA, or C++.
