Im using IBM Rational Rhapsody 7.6 for UML modeling.
Iv'e created class diagrams, use cases, sequence diagrams and i want to export it to some kind of image or PDF or something, anything that is viewable in a nice way will do.
I found the export to report under "Tools" but then you get a rich text file with a super odd format and the class diagrams will be cut up in the middle to fit the A4 pages.
So how to export to an image from IBM Rational Rhapsody, UML modeling.
If you just want to export a single diagram, right click on diagram and select "Export Diagram Image" and there you go.
If you want to have a model with many diagrams exported at once, you can try the HTML output via Reporter Plus (built into Rhapsody), or for more features you can try Rational Publishing Engine (additional licenses might be required).
You can export diagrams to PDF by installing a PDF writer such as CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp)
Then select File\Print Diagrams from the menu in Rhapsody and print chosen diagrams to PDF

How can I extend the functionality of the UML designer?
I want to be able to load some specific class file and show the infos(attributes, relations) into the UML Diagram?
Thanks!
As UML Designer is based on Eclipse Sirius, you need to update the diagrams specification : uml2.odesign.
If you don't know yet Sirius, you can have a look to the get started page.
If you have more specific questions do not hesitate!
In Enterprise Architect I'm trying to model my Business Process through the Eriksson-Penker Business Modelling Profile which looks like this:
Everything goes well except for the Output element on the bottom right.
For some reason it doesn't exist in the Toolbox:
How can I get this Output Element here? I'm searching and searching in different toolboxes but I can't find it. Some help would be much appreciated!
This is a simple Object. Choose Other/UML/Object/Object from the toolbox and name it Output. It will appear underlined as in your diagram.
P.S. I see that the EP toolbox has an Object already. Use that in you're done.
Just found out that if you choose 'New Model from Pattern' in the project browser, browse to 'Business' and then select the Eriksson-Penker Diagram that it makes the entire diagram for you and you only have to change the descriptions. So case closed!
I have some diagrams made on Enterprise Architect and i want to export them to an OCL tool
"USE" or "OCLE".I tried the option export and converted the diagrams to a xml extension
but it doesen't work on the OCL tool. How can i do that ?
You can't. RTFM ;-)
a possible extension to USE would be the import of an XMI file created by a CASE tool
I have a file very big file .umlclass. It has a lot of classes, Enumerationtypes, relations.... I want to organize it in the class diagram Editor, but it is impossible because I don't know where the things are.
In the Project Explorer of Eclipse I can see the tree and in the view properties I can see the properties of each one, but I can't see it in the class diagram Editor.
Is there any kind of select or find each resource in the diagram Editor? I'm using the UML2Tools plugin.
Thanks in advance.
Ramón.
Actually the UML2Tools don't have a full fledged editor. Consider using another editor for your Eclipse UML2 Model.
Omondo EclipseUML can read all UML2Tools model.
You just need to to create an empty class diagram and drag and drop one classifier inside the diagram. The project will immediately import all models and then allow you to navigate graphically in the model using the class diagram as a viewer of your model.
It is really good because your diagrams are not anymore the model itself as it is for many tools but only a viewer of your model.
Really cool feature :-)
I'm Using Papyrus UML and I have to use in my diagram, a class which is defined in another .uml file. HowI can do it?
Thank you
You need to create a shortcut but for me this is not usable because I prefer to mix usecase and class diagram elements inside the same model and sometimes even the same diagram.
You can do it with RSA IBM or Omondo EclipseUML.
I do not know particularly about Papyrus, but in UML in general, you should have a Model-element at the top-level, and in there, you create a PackageImport. Now you should be able to set the ``Imported Package'' reference---but the other UML must be loaded from the workspace first:
This is where things become interesting! in the plain Eclipse UML editor, you have to load the resource first using the 'UML Editor' menu or the ``Additional Resources'' sub-tree in the model-outline. I guess Papyrus offers at least the same way through the outline.
