How do I create a Diagram from an existing UML model [message #676247]

Hi

I feel a bit stupid asking such a simple question, but I'm defeated:

I've looked for

select xxx.uml then right button Initialize Diagram File (like Ecore Tools)

create blank diagram and right button Load Resource...

New ... Papyrus ... from existing model

create blank diagram and drag and drop from UML Model editor

create a blank diagram and then DNDing between UML Model Editors and
reopening at least
gives an editor on the model but editor and outline are blank.

So: How do I create diagrams from an existing model?

Regards

Ed,
using Papyrus 7.3 on Helios I follow this procedure to create a diagram for an existing UML model:
-select the UML model in package explorer
-create Papyrus model with File->New->Papyrus Model, file name will be like the uml model but ending with .di
-open the created papyrus model in the papyrus perspective
-go to the papyrus model explorer
-right click on a uml package->new diagram->class diagram
-drag elements from the model explorer to the newly created diagram

Regards
Michael

Thanks. That was news to me. I expected elements to appear in the Outline.

Your approach works for simple UML models. It doesn't work for mine; the
Papyrus Model Explorer is empty. I guess there's some pathmap issue to
debug.

Hi Ed,

can you log a bug for this (adding your model in attachement would be helpful).

regards,

Yann

Can you check the model attached, it seems to be empty:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<uml:Model xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="http://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1" xmlns:uml="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML" xmi:id="_Mij0oZAWEeCZU9lJySWf8A" name="model"/>

Hi Yann

Oops. Embarrassing. While trying to workaround ignorance of the Model
Explorer I trashed the UML file.

[I find it a bit odd that the Model Explorer is not the (primary)
Outline View.]

After restoring the file, I can DND classes fine and after a bit of
experimentation generalisations too.

Thanks.

Hi Yann,
I followed step by step your answer but it doesn't work for me.
After selecting the UML Model, I open the Papyrus New Model Wizard (File -> New -> Papyrus Model), and the file name corresponds already with the .di extension. But When I try to finish, the papyrus Wizard doesn't dispose.

If I cancel the operation, Papyrus creates a the model with the di extension but I tri to open it, the papyrus editor is blank.

I am using Eclipse Helios and Papyrus v7.3, on Linux .2.6.38. I hope this is not a bug from Papyrus.

How can I resolve that problem?

The editor may be blank because no diagram have been created yet.

First (after opening the di file) switch to Papyrus perspective, the "ModelExplorer" should appears on the left side of your eclipse.

Try to select a Package and to create a Class Diagram (right-click on the Package element in explorer and select "/New Diagram/Create a new Class Diagram" command).

A Class Diagram should be created and its editor should open. Did this work ?

Then you can manually populate the diagram with elements from your model by dragging them in the ModelExplorer and dropping them in the diagram editor.
