Enterprise Architect Import allows you to import diagrams. The imported diagram information includes:
Geometry Properties
The geometry properties imported to a UML model are:
- Positions on a diagram (for shape elements)
- Width and height (for shape elements)
- Path break points (for link elements)
Note
Other display properties can override geometry information. For example, if an imported element width is shorter than the required width to display text on the element, the width will be adjusted automatically.
Color Properties
Color properties will be imported along with the diagrams to a modeling tool developed by NoMagic. Each color property has a different name in a modeling tool. The following table shows color properties mapping.
| EA | Modeling tool by NoMagic |
|---|---|
| Background | Fill color |
Border color (for shape element) | Pen color |
| Font color | Text color |
| Line color (for link element) | Pen color |
Display Properties
Display properties in EA can be categorized into three groups: shape, link, and diagram. Only those properties corresponding to the modeling tool will be imported. For example, the Show Diagram Details property in EA will be imported as the Show Diagram Info property in a modeling tool developed by NoMagic.
