Selecting diagrams for export
The Diagram Export Utility operates on a selection that comprises Unified Modeling Language (UML) model objects. This selection, with the chosen preferences, determines the diagrams to be exported by the utility.
The Diagram Export utility can operate on the following object
types:
- Diagram elements – if one or more diagram elements are selected in an open diagram, that diagram is exported.
- A diagram – if a diagram is selected in the RSA Project Explorer view, that diagram is exported.
- A UML element – which diagrams are
exported due to the selection of a UML element depends on whether
the Recurse on all subelements option is selected
on the preference page (see Preferences):
- If Recurse on all subelements is not selected, the diagrams that are directly owned by the selected UML element are exported.
- If Recurse on all subelements is selected, diagrams that are owned by the selected UML element and all its descendant UML elements are exported.
- A selection comprising any number of diagrams and UML elements, not limited to one model or to one Eclipse project. In this case, the set of exported diagrams is the same as if the utility were started on each selected object separately.
