Hi Thibault,

Thanks for the clarification.

I appreciate it.

>> Hi Thibault,
>>
>> May I ask a question regarding your presentation "How to generate UML from
>> a Java Project on
>> Topcased 2.1"?
>>
>> I followed your instructions and have successfully created the model, with
>> all packages shown in the Packages Explorer pane, but I do not see how to
>> generate a UML Class Diagram from select packages.
>>
>> The last slide of your presentation says:
>>
>>
>> "You can now create your own diagram by drag and dropping
>> the different elements of your model onto the diagram."
>>
>>
>> I would assume something like selecting packages then right-clicking and
>> generating the UML Class Diagram from there, but this does not appear to be
>> the case.
>>
>> No doubt I am missing something obvious.
>>
>> Would you mind enlightening me?
>>
>>
>> Thanks!

>>    Hello Jim,

>>    I have made a little tutorial to explain this reverse action.

>>    I hope this will help you.

>>        Those documents I am referring to are:

>>           * Installation Guide v2.pdf

>>           * Topcased 2.0.0 - Release Note.pdf

>>           * TPC-SPE-DESIGN-029.pdf

>>
>>        Experimentation on our part has, so far, proved futile.
>>
>>        Is there documentation that we overlooked?
>>
>>        If not, can you please advise?
>>
>>
>>        Thank you for your time, and from the first look at things, a
>>        great tool.
