Use the Rational Rose Model Import Preferences page
of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard to specify various
settings that control how the imported Rose model appears. This topic provides
a detailed explanation of each preference you can specify on this page.
The Rational Rose Model Import Preferences page
is the last page of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard.
- Enable unmapped Rose metamodel properties
- You can use this check box to activate a profile called Rose.epx that
specifies whether specific Rose properties that do not map to UML 2.0 appear
in your imported model. By default, even though specific Rose properties do
not have corresponding UML 2.0 counterparts, they import as stereotypes. When
you select the check box, the Rose properties that do not map to UML 2.0 will
appear in the Properties view in the stereotypes category. If you clear the
check box, none of the Rose properties are imported.
- Interpret UML 2.0 conventions in the Rose model
- With this check box, you can control how specific class diagram-related
model elements map on import. If you clear the check box, none of the mappings
are applied to the imported model. Most of the affected model elements are
related to classes and association ends. For more information on the specific
mappings, refer to the help topic on class diagram mapping.
- Use Rose Icons and Shapes
- With this check box, you can retain the Rose display of specific shapes
and icons in the imported model. For example, if you check this option, all
actors in your imported model will appears as a stick figure, rather than
a solid person figure as defined in UML 2.0.
- Show migration problems in the Problems view
- You can use this check box to display Rose import problems such as error,
warning, and informational messages in the Problems view.
Note: Error
and warning messages always appear in both the log file and
the Problems view, while informational message appear
in the Problems view only when you select this check box.
- Maximum number of problems to generate
- With this check box, you can define the maximum number of error, warnings,
and informational messages that appear in the Problems view.
If your model surpasses the maximum number of problems, an additional warning
message appears in the Problems view; this warning message indicates how many
problems are reported as markers and how many additional errors and warnings
appear in the log file.
- Use Rose colors
- You can use this check box to import the colors specified in the Rose
model instead of the current UML modeling product preferences.
- If you clear the check box, all shapes appear in the color scheme used
in the new UML modeling products.
- Use Rose font
- With this check box, you can import the fonts specified in the Rose model
instead of the current UML modeling product preferences.
- If you clear the check box, fonts used in the new UML modeling products
are used in the imported model.
- Create views of state and activity actions
- You can use this check box to import OnEvent actions
as self-transitions in the diagram editor. When you clear the check box, OnEvent
actions are imported, but they do not appear in the diagram editor. If desired,
you can drag actions most important to your diagram from the Model
Explorer view to the diagram editor.
- For activity diagrams, all actions such as entry, do, exit,
and event (which are nested within the structured activity
node diagram element) appear in the diagram editor. These diagram elements
cascade within the shape compartment of the parent node.
Note: In
Rose, you can hide the actions on individual states. If a Rose model contains
states with hidden actions, the actions import as hidden as well, regardless
of the Create view of state and activity actions preference
setting.
- Honor diagram element autosize setting for selected diagram types
- You can use these check boxes to control the automatic sizing of diagram
elements on a per diagram basis. When you select a diagram check box such
as Use Case, the diagram elements are resized based on the autosize property
of the Rose model diagram view; model elements in a Rose diagram that have
autosize disabled are never autosized during the import process. When you
clear the check box, the diagram elements import as they appear in the original
Rose diagrams.
Note: You cannot modify autoresize settings for
sequence diagrams; you can modify the setting for all other diagram types.
- Restore Defaults
- With this button, you can return all of the Rose model import preferences
to the original state.
