Exporting models as templates

You can save a model in the workspace as a model template. Model templates can contain pre-defined model elements and provide the basic structure of a new model. Model templates can be distributed to other team members to ensure that there is a consistent model format within a project.

To export a model as a template:
  1. Click File > Export.
  2. In the Export wizard, in the Select an export destination field, click UML Model Template, and click Next.
  3. On the Export Model Template page, in the Model Selection field, specify the model in the workspace that you want to export.
  4. In the Name field, type a name for the model template.
  5. In the Image field, the graphic file representing the template icon appears by default.
  6. In the Description field, type a description of the model template and click Finish.
The exported template appears in the Templates directory in the workspace.
