You can convert Pacbase entities from the Pacbase Explorer view

You need to have entities imported from a Pacbase database in a connection
repository.
Converting entities to PDP model means that you export your entities
to the PDP (Pattern-driven model) editor. Then you will be able to update
your entities in this editor.
- To do this, open the Pacbase Explorer view in
the Pacbase perspective.
- Open an existing connection repository and right-click in the list
of entities. In the popup menu that opens up, select . The wizard that
opens looks like this following one: You find in sub-branches,
the list of the instances you have imported locally in your connection repository.
- On the first window of the wizard, check the type of entities you
want to convert or click All if you want to select
of all them. Click None to have all the boxes unchecked.
Check Convert already present dependent entities to
convert the selected entities and their dependencies. Then , click Next.
- On the next window, select or enter a target location. The entities
will be saved in the Design view of the Design perspective, under the location
you indicate here. Then, click Finish and the convert
process starts running. The window closes at the end of the process.
