Chapter 4 Working with an XML model

Generating Other Models from an XML Model

You can generate another XSM from your XSM. When changes are made to the source model, they can then be easily propagated to the generated models using the Update Existing Model generation mode.

Steps To generate one XSM from another:

  1. Select Tools→Generate XML Model (Ctrl+Shift+M) to open the XML Model Generation Options Window:
  2. On the General tab, select a radio button to generate a new or update an existing model, and complete the appropriate options.
  3. [optional] Click the Detail tab and set any appropriate options. We recommend that you select the Check model checkbox to check the model for errors and warnings before generation.
  4. [optional] Click the Target Models tab and specify the target models for any generated shortcuts.
  5. [optional] Click the Selection tab and select or deselect objects to generate.
  6. Click OK to begin generation.

Note   Generation options
