How to duplicate model [message #1214993]

Hi,

What's the best way to duplicate a model? I have a model where I want to add some elements. The original model is already used in several unit tests. To test my new feature, I want to add new elements. But I don't want to add them to the existing model, since it would break existing tests.

So what I did was to copy all 3 files (di, uml, notation) and then rename the copies. However, the new uml file still references the original model. I replaced the names also in the uml file. But then the xmi:id is still the old one. Can I simply invent a new id?

I have the need to be able to copy subtrees from one model to another.

This i want to do often in order to copy adapt subtrees to save huge amount of clicks and endless "add child.." work.

As it seems, it is not possible to do this in Eclipse::UML2 either. Probably one needs to go there for the solution of this issue.

Hi Jonas,

The simplest way to copy/paste a full model is to open it, then use "Save as..."

It might also be possible to copy subtrees from one model to another, if they are opened in the same editor. In the Eclipse UML2 Editor, you can do that with "Load resource...". In Papyrus, this is not supported yet.

Regards,
Camille

Hello Camille,

do you mean the "same diagram editor"? Then these are from the same model (or model fileset including: di, uml, notation) right?

Do you mean that there is a way to open diagrams from different models (model filesets) in the "same diagram editor"?

Best regards,
Furkan

Hi Furkan,

No, I'm saying "in the same Eclipse UML2 Editor". Right click on the uml file > open with > UML Model Editor. Then use Right click > Load resource... to load another UML Model. Then you may be able to copy/paste subtrees from one model to the other.

This case is not supported in Papyrus, because you cannot display two different models in the same editor.

Ah yes, 'save as' is exactly what I want (why didn't I figure that out myself...). Thanks!

I would like to organize my SysML modeling environment so I may reuse elements.

I am new to Papyrus and could use significant help in determining what the consideration are and maybe some examples. Seeing some restrictions address in the previous messages suggest some planning would be in order.

I would appreciate any and all help.

Hi, in project explorer(if the project explorere is not open ) form the main meunu (windows--- show view---- project explorer), find your model right click on it and choose copy, then you have a prompt to change the name too. it will copy your model in the same project.
