Selecting the available transformations

This task explains how to select transformations to use on your UML model.

Transformations are shown in the main table of the transformation parameters editor only if they are being applied to one or more of the elements in the UML model. When you right-click a UML element and then click a transformation from the popup menu, that transformation is shown in a column in the editor.

If you right-click a UML element and do not see the transformation you want to use, that transformation may not be selected or installed. Follow these steps to select the transformations that you want to be available in the transformation parameters editor:

  1. Open the transformation parameters editor. You can open an existing TPM file or right-click a UML file and then click Edit Transformation Parameters.
  2. At the top right corner of the editor, click the Manage applied transformations check box. The Manage Your Transformation Parameters window opens.
  3. Move the transformations that you want to use into the Selected Transforms list by clicking a transformation in the Available Transforms list and then clicking Add.
  4. Move the transformations that you do not want to use into the Available Transforms list by clicking a transformation in the Selected Transforms list and then clicking Remove.
  5. You can change the order of the transformations by clicking a transformation and then clicking Move Up or Move Down. The order of the transformations controls the order of the columns in the transformation parameters editor.
  6. Click OK.
