3. Select check boxes next to those projects which should support UML modeling.
4. Click OK.
   The Modeling tool parses the source code of a project supporting Modeling. The Modeling tool reverse engineers the source code and generates the model view tree of the project. This tree shows diagram nodes for namespaces, classes, and interfaces and shows their interrelationships. The Model View displays the tree structures of UML models for each of the selected projects. In the Project Manager, the ModelSupport_PROJECTNAME folder is added to each of the selected projects.

To deactivate UML Modeling support:

To deactivate UML modeling support, follow the above procedure, but clear the check boxes next to those projects that do not need UML modeling.

Tip: You can also use the Automatically enable Modeling Support option to force IDE to activate the UML Modeling support automatically for all new or currently open projects. Open the Modeling > Default > General page of the Options dialog box (Tools > Options) and set Automatically enable Modeling Support to True. Disabling Modeling support for individual projects in the Modeling Support dialog box overrides this option.
