Hello Cerys,
You cannot auto-draw sequence diagrams from code but you can do this for
class diagrams. The way to do this is different depending on whether you
are using an older version of Rose or a newer version (Rose 2001A or 2002).
I have listed two solutions below. You can use the one that applies to you:
/////
For pre 2001A versions of Rose:
QUESTION:
When I reverse engineer code into Rose I see the classes that were added to
the model in the browser but not my diagrams. How can I generate diagrams
in my model containing the classes from my code?
ANSWER:
You can accomplish this by following the steps listed below:
1. Shut down Rose
2. Edit the rose.ini file
In Windows 95 The rose.ini file is in the directory in which Rose was
installed. By default this is C:\Program Files\Rational\Rose.
In Windows NT this file can be found in:
C:\WINNT\Profiles\<<login name>>\Application Data\Rational\Rose\6.0
OR
you could just use the script listed below to determine the location
of your rose.ini file:
'<<START SCRIPT>>
Sub Main
MsgBox RoseApp.GetRoseIniPath()
End Sub
'<<END SCRIPT>>
3. In the rose.ini file look for and change
AutoConstructMainDiagrams=No
to
AutoConstructMainDiagrams=Yes
4. Restart Rose
Future reverse engineering sessions for all add-ins should result in
diagrams getting automatically generated.
* All top level packages and classes will appear in the Main diagram of
the Logical View.
* All packages will now contain a diagram called the 'Package Overview'
diagram which will contain all of the classes that are owned by that
package.
* If you double click on a package on a diagram the package's 'Package
Overview' diagram will be opened for you.

For Rose 2001A or Rose 2002:
QUESTION:
I have Rose 2001A/2002, and I am trying to automatically generate diagrams
while reverse engineering the code. Tech Note 13512 describes how I can do
this by turning on the "AutoConstructMainDiagrams" option in the rose.ini
file. However, there is no rose.ini file in Rose 2001A/2002. How can I
automatically generate diagrams while reverse engineering the code in Rose
2001A/2002?
ANSWER:
The settings, that used to be in the rose.ini file, are now located in the
Windows registry in Rose 2001A/2002.
TO ACTIVATE:
Use the following steps to turn-on the "AutoConstructMainDiagrams" option in
Rose 2001A/2002.
1. Shut down Rose.
2. Copy the lines listed below to the clipboard and paste them into a text
editor such as Notepad:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational Software\rose\Rose]
"AutoConstructMainDiagrams"="Yes"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rational Software\Rose\Rose]
"AutoConstructMainDiagrams"="Yes"
3. Save this file as "set2yes.reg".
4. Double-click on this file to add this information to the registry.
5. Restart Rose.
Future reverse engineering sessions for all add-ins should result in
diagrams getting automatically generated.
* All top level packages and classes will appear in the Main diagram of
the Logical View.
* All packages will now contain a diagram called the 'Package Overview'
diagram which will contain all of the classes that are owned by that
package.
* If you double click on a package on a diagram the package's 'Package
Overview' diagram will be opened for you.
* Double click on any package icon to display the corresponding 'Package
Overview' diagram.
TO DEACTIVATE:
Use the following steps to turn-off the "AutoConstructMainDiagrams" option
in Rose 2001A/2002.
1. Shut down Rose.
2. Copy the following lines to a text editor such as Notepad.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational Software\rose\Rose]
"AutoConstructMainDiagrams"="No"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rational Software\Rose\Rose]
"AutoConstructMainDiagrams"="No"
3. Save this file as "set2no.reg".
4. Double-click on this file to add this information to the registry.
5. Restart Rose.

Subject: (ROSE) Is it possible auto-drawing any diagram in Rose?
Hi, :-)
Is it possible auto-drawing any diagram(sequence, class diagram etc.) from
codes?
Nowadays, I usually use Rational Rose for drawing model from codes(VC++)...
So, I was wondering if there is any function or menus about auto-drawing
diagrams from codes.
Is it possible??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Cerys
