If you use Rational Rhapsody with Design Management, you can connect Rational Publishing Engine to Design Management instead of directly to Rational Rhapsody. You might find Design Management easier to create templates in situations where you are using published models in Design Management and not in Rational Rhapsody itself. For more information about using Design Management with Rational Publishing Engine, see Integrating Design Management with Rational Publishing Engine.
