Flat mode

In flat mode, IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® stores all package files in one directory. This directory is typically the project directory.

If you are changing modes from hierarchical to flat, Rhapsody maintains the existing directory structure, but does not add any new subdirectories. New packages are stored within the existing structure beneath the directory of their closest parent.

To create a model that will be in one file, after you create the project, set the following properties to Cleared at the project level:

  • General::Model::BlockIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::ClassIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::ComponentIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::DiagramIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::FileIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::ObjectIsSavedUnit
  • General::Model::PackageIsSavedUnit
