Creating or editing C++-to-UML transformation configurations

Creating C++-to-UML transformation configurations
Before you can run a transformation, you must create a transformation configuration. A transformation configuration contains the information that the transformation uses to generate the output that you expect. A transformation configuration also contains information that is specific to a particular type of transformation.
Editing C++-to-UML transformation configurations
You can edit an existing transformation configuration to refine how the transformation generates output.
Enabling and configuring reverse transformations
You can enable a reverse transformation if it is supported and installed. Reverse transformations enable you to recover changes to the model or recover changes to source code. This process is useful when the model and code are developed concurrently.
Specifying sources and targets for C++-to-UML transformations
You can select the code project or code elements on which to run a transformation, and specify a UML model where the transformation generates UML elements.
Specifying how C++-to-UML transformations generate UML operations and associations
You can specify which C++ elements the transformation transforms into UML operations, and whether the transformation generates UML associations or UML properties for member variables in a class. These options provide you with greater control over the UML elements that the transformation generates in the target UML model. By default, for each class that you specify in the transformation source, the transformation generates UML operations for C++ getter and setter methods, default constructors and destructors, copy constructors, and assignment operators, and creates UML associations for member variables.
Generating debug information for C++-to-UML transformations
If a transformation does not generate the output that you expect, you can specify that the transformation generate a log file. You can use the information in the log files to debug the transformations that you write.
