Is it possible to reference data in a second model file via Xpand [message #63675]

Hi

My Xpand is working fine now, however I have a question

If my model includes ref to an external file, eg a uml model
is it possible to read the data being pointed to in that file?
For example my DSL uses load resource to put the names of user
selected classes into a List attribute of type uml::Class

My test data file looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

OK answered my own question, yes it is possible
possibly had a bit of a problem with my logic last night.
There are some neat functions in uml model, works well, better than
I had hoped

However process time gone from a few ms to 24 sec on a fast
computer (large uml model)
