Textual notation import/export

You can export SysML v2 project namespaces into .sysml textual notation files which you can later import into your projects.

The Smart Generation Timeout environment option allows you to specify the timeout duration for smart generation in seconds. During textual notation generation, the tool generates the shortest qualified names. If the timeout is specified, a simpler name is generated once the time limit is reached. Learn more on the (2026x Refresh1) Environment options page.
