I have download and running the latest papyrus and we need to be able to
create a papyrus model project from an existing uml (xmi 2.1) model. I am
able to create a papyrus project and replace the uml file with a existing
if the names align. Is this the preferred method or approach?
Thanks
Sean

there is another mean to do that: select the uml file, right click on it and
create with this context a new Papyrus model. The current model will be the
base for your new project.

I have just tried this as I had the same question as the OP. This technique does not work well. It creates no view at all.
You may add a view manually, but then, it is empty, and it is not that easy : you have to peek element from the model explorer, then move it to the view. However, this oftenly goes wrong, and sometime, some stuff cannot be added in the view this way, like comment links and some others;
I guess this would not be easy to create something which would create a layout automatically. But this could be easier and still nice to have something which would do the bare minimum, that, add all element from the model to a view. The user will then have to adjust element position and the like.

Hi
That seems to justify raising
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396881 to critical.
