Chapter 6 Managing Models

Exporting XMI files

You can export your PowerDesigner OOM as an XMI file to allow it to be easily opened in other UML modeling tools or code generators like Java, CORBA or C++. Note that only objects from the class diagram and from the use case diagram are exported, and any symbols will be lost as only objects are exported.

Steps To export XMI files:

  1. Select File→Export→XMI File.
  2. Enter a filename for your XMI file and click Save.

    A progress box shows the progress rate of the export process.

    The General page in the Modeling Output, located in the lower part of the PowerDesigner main window, shows the objects export order. Your OOM is exported as an XMI file.
