You can move selected elements from the main server project to a directly used project. The relations are also moved with the element(s).

This action cannot be undone as a new version is automatically created and committed to the server after the selected elements are moved to a new location.

Moving elements to/from used projects

To move elements from the main server project to a used one

  1. In the Model Browser, select one or more elements.

  2. Right-click the selected elements. From the shortcut menu, choose Refactor > Move Element(s) to Other Project.

    You must commit the project to the server before moving elements.


  3. The Move Elements dialog opens. Select a package or a classifier in the target project where you want to move the elements. You will see the classifier as a possible destination if only the classifier elements are selected to move. Otherwise, only packages will be shown.

    You can drag and drop the selected elements to the target project package or classifier instead of using the shortcut menu. This action can be performed if the following conditions are met:

    • if the selected elements to move contain at least one non-classifier element, it is restricted to drop to other targets than packages.
    • if the selected elements to move contain only classifiers, moving is allowed to either packages or classifiers.


  4. Do one of the following:
      • Click Move to start moving elements or 
      • Click Select More to specify your selection. The Select Elements dialog opens, in which you can:
        • add or remove some elements from a selection or
        • change the destination (click  at the end of the row). The Select destination dialog will list destination targets by the type of the element selected to move (i.e. if it is a classifier element, classifiers will be listed in the Tree and List tabs). Otherwise only packages will be listed.
      • Click OK when you are done.
  5. After you move the elements, new source project and target project versions are created and automatically committed to the server. Additionally, the used project is switched to the latest version.
