Change target location for representations [message #1410277]

Is it possible to change the location where representations are stored for each visual representation?

Use case:
Lets say we create 2 files Sample1.mymodel and Sample2.mymodel. Now we create some nice visual representations for both of them. Those representations are typically stored in representations.aird.

How would I pass on Sample1.model along with its visual representation to another user/workspace?

Personally I would prefer to store the visual representation along with the model data in one file (eg. a zip that holds both files). But maybe there are other ways to export/import representations.

Hi,

It is possible to split your representations in several representations
files (aird files):
* "Extract to .aird file..." action on a representation in Model
Explorer view.
* or "Control..." action on a semantic element in Model Explorer view.
Your metamodel must authorize the "control" to have this possibility.

I realized that this part is not documented. Can you create another
bugzilla for this problem?

Best regards,
