Chapter 8 Working with Object-Oriented Models

Importing Rational Rose statechart diagrams

In Rose, activity and statechart diagrams are created in the Use Case or Logical View:

A UML State Machine is automatically created, which contains statechart and activity diagrams with their relevant objects.

In PowerDesigner, statechart diagrams are created at the model level or in a composite state: the parent package or the model is considered the State Machine.

Rose statechart diagrams that are at the root level, or in a state are imported, but those that are in an activity are not imported.

Objects in Rose statechart diagrams are imported as follows. Only the listed properties are imported:
