Mapping models

A transformation assigns default file names to the files and folders that it generates. You can use a mapping model to specify an alternate file name for files and folders that a transformation generates.

A mapping model contains an artifact for each element selected in the source model. Each artifact refers to and has the same name as the corresponding source model element. You can specify an alternate file name by changing the file name property of an artifact. The next time that you run a transformation, you can select the mapping model that you edited. The transformation assigns the file name that you specified in the file name property of each artifact to the corresponding target element.

You must create a mapping model in the same workspace and project as the selected model elements.
