Hi,
First we have to separate model data and graphical data.
TOPCASED stores model data in a .uml file and the graphical data (font,
position, colors...) are stored in a different file (.umldi extension).
TOPCASED model format is based on the Eclipse UML2 plug-in which is XMI
compliant.
It means that any XMI compliant file exported from a UML tool can be
read by Eclipse UML2 editor (available in TOPCASED). It will allow
getting model data, not not graphical data.
To import an XMI file, here is the complete procedure:
1. import your .xmi file into your TOPCASED project (in models
directory for instance)
2. right click on the the file and choose "open with UML model
editor" (editor provided by the Eclipse UML2 plugin).
3. The UML editor tries to open the UML model in a treeview. All
elements that do not comply with UML2 last release are detected as
errors and the editor can create markers to show you where the
error is.
4. Fix all the errors (most errors come from a bad compliance of the
UML tool with the specification).
5. When the XMI file is fully compliant with UML2, you do not have
errors and you can validate the model. Now we have to rename its
internal format in .uml extension so that TOPCASED can create the
graphical data (.umldi extension).
* copy your xmi file with extension .uml.
* open your .uml file with text editor
* remove <xmi: tags (at the very beginning and at the end).
The first tag should now be <uml:model
* modification of <uml:model tag to add the following information
o xmi:version="2.1"
xmlns:xmi="http://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1";
xmlns:uml="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML";
o check that there is a xmi:id. It it not the case, add
it like taht : xmi:id="12345"
6. Create new model with TOPCASED and choose existing .uml model.
Select your .uml model: TOPCASED find the model element. When
creating on "finish" button, the .umldi file is created.
7. Now you have to re created your diagrams. Drag and drop elements
from the outline to the diagrams
If many people are interested, perhaps we could work on some automation
for this procedure. Feel free to open a feature request.

Hi
Is it possible to import (and export) XMI files to Topcased (2.5) and
how do we do ?
Thanks
