Hi,

i am trying to use another model as reference in my model.
I found the Import package from user model, but once I select my model, there are several options:
- Load All
- Import All
- Copy All

What are the differences between those 3 options?

Thanks and regards,

Marc

Hi, Marc,

The Load action simply loads the resource containing the package into the editor. It doesn't make any changes to your model.

The Import action does a Load and also creates a PackageImport relationship from the selected package in your model to the imported package. If you're importing multiple packages, then a PackageImport is created for each. This modifies your (importing) model.

The Copy action creates a local copy of the "imported" (but then not actually) package in the selected package. So, it's like the Import action except that it doesn't add a reference (via PackageImport) to the target package but actually clones it.

HTH,

Christian
