Open a Model Saved in XML Format (XML Import)

You can use XML format to import a model file previously saved in XML format. XML format replaces the text-based ERX format used in earlier versions of this product. XML format provides structured markup of model metadata according to elements that are defined in the XML Schema.

To import a file in XML format

1. Click Open on the File menu.

   The Open File dialog opens.

2. Select XML Files (*.xml) from the Files of type dropdown, select the directory and XML file name that you want to open, and click Open.

   The File Open dialog opens.

3. Select to validate the XML file against the schema prior to opening the file.

   The file is verified. You can view the progress of the XML Import in the progress dialog.

Note: Any errors that occur during the XML Import process are displayed in the Advisories Pane.
