Problems generating a state machine diagram from a xmi file [message #1016088]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to papyrus and i was wondering if you could help me.

Given a xmi papyrus file, I want to generate its equivalent state machine diagram.

I've tried pasting the xmi in model.uml and see if model.di changes accordingly
but it does not work.

I also did the following:
-Created a new papyrus model.
-Drew a very simple state machine diagram.
-Copied the uml generated for the diagram i drew.
-Created another papyrus model and replaced the empty uml file with a copy of the uml generated for my previous model.

My expectation was to see the same simple state machine diagram i had drawn but it did not render properly.

I'm using the indigo version of Eclipse modeling tools.

Your help is very much appreciated!

what for a xmi papyrus file?

never copy contents from the files manually. these files must be consistent and you will break them. same holds for the following statement:

try the diagram generation component for Papyrus (you must install it via help> install papyrus additional components)

Hi, thanks for your reply!

Allow me to explain myself a little better.

I'm writing software that generates simple papyrus state machines from another modeling language.

So my goal is to understand the structure of .notation and .uml that i'd have to build in order to properly import my generated papyrus project.

That's why i was doing comparisons between files of different papyrus project.
