When you start a pure::variants project for the first time, connect the feature model in pure::variants and the system model in a modeling tool as described below.

To connect feature and system models

1. In pure::variants, open the feature model. In the modeling tool, open the system model.
2. In pure::variants, specify the feature project:
   1. In the Variant Project view, right-click your model folder and select New > Family Model.
      
      
      
      
   2. In the Family model name box, type the name of a family model and click Finish.
   3. Create a Component. In the Family Model Editor pane, right-click the created family model and select New >  Component.
      
      
      
      
   4. In the New Element dialog, type a Component name and click Finish.
   5. Create a MagicDraw project:
      - If a system model is local, in the Family Model Editor pane, right-click the created Component and select New > MagicDraw Project. In the open dialog, specify the .mdzip file of your system model as the file value. Click Finish when you are done.
      - If a system model is in a server, TBD.
3. In the modeling tool, set the pure::variants focus. Switch to the modeling tool. In the pure::variants window, click the Open a pure::variants Model button and browse through your file system to open the pure::variants configuration file.
