Generate Papyrus diagrams from UML(XMI) file [message #1806675]

Hi,

I am working a model to model transformation by using ATL.
My project transforms the .uml file in a Papyrus model into a new .uml file.
However, I cannot find a way to display the diagrams in Papyrus with the new UML file.

I am sorry if the question is already asked. I am new to Papyrus and have been searching for the solution about a week now.

Thank you.

Hi,

Try creating a new Papyrus diagram with the same name and location of your UML file. Your model should not be deleted but make a backup as a precaution.

Hi Adriano,

I did it, but the notation file is blank. I cannot find a way to generate it? I found some topics talking about this, but none of them gives a proper solution.
I am ok with either using tools or programmatical approach. Can you give me some hints?

Thank you.

What I usually do is the following:

1. Create a Papyrus Model with same name and location as the UML file (but *.di extension). This creates some files and "merges" you UML model into a tree.
2. Open the *.di file with the Papyrus Editor.
3.. Create View (e.g., class diagram). The class diagram will be blank because it is not synchronized with model.
4. In the class diagram right-click / Filters / Synchronized with Model (it becomes "checked"). Nodes should be visible; edges, however, are still not visible.
5. In the class diagram right-click / Filters / Show all related link. Edges should be visible now.

If you update the model you need to repeat everything again since the "connection" with the UML model is lost.

There should be a better way but I am not aware of it. Perhaps someone else could share a better one.
