Bridge Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Type | Values | Default | Scope | ||||
| File | Generates an MDL file. To load the converted model: 1. 'Open' from the 'File' menu of your modeling tool. 2. Navigate to the file you want to open. 3. Select the Class diagram you want to display. 4. Choose 'Layout Diagram' from the 'Tools' menu (or from the 'Format' menu in Rose 2000). 5. Choose 'Autosize all' from the 'Tools' menu (or from the 'Format' menu in Rose 2000). |
FILE | *.mdl | Mandatory | |||||
| Supported types | Target a specific system when generating attribute or argument type. 'As is' The type name is used without any conversion. |
ENUMERATED |
|
Oracle 7.x & 8 | |||||
| Export Foreign key attributes | Export Foreign key attributes: 'True' 'False' The Foreign key attribute will not be created. |
BOOLEAN | False | ||||||
| Generate Qualifiers | Generate qualifier to represent Foreign key attributes: 'True' Superseeds the Export Foreign key attributes option. 'False' |
BOOLEAN | False | ||||||
| Show Constraints in diagrams | Show Association and Association Role constraints in diagrams. | BOOLEAN | False | ||||||
| Use graphical information | Use the graphical information when available to display the classes. | BOOLEAN | True | ||||||
| X Scale (in %) for object model diagram | When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions. Controls the horizontal scaling (by percentage) applied to X coordinates in diagrams. The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size. |
NUMERIC | 100 | ||||||
| Y Scale (in %) for object model diagram | When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions. Controls the vertical scaling (by percentage) applied to Y coordinates in diagrams. The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size. |
