Instance-Level Mappings
Go Up to Session 13: Importing Visio Models
You also have the ability to map each individual object in the Visio model. It is important to note that these Instance-level mappings are not saved as part of the custom mapping file and are used for this import only. You will get an “Unable to Save Instance-Level Mappings” warning dialog when you click Save.
- Click the arrow next to the Visio Object type “Terminator” to display the individual objects.
- Select the Visio Object type “Unnamed” and click “End Event” to open a list box.
- Select “Off-Page Connector” from the list box which is now displayed in the ER/Studio Business Architect Object type. This mapping will be used in the import process.
- Note: You can set a preference to either retain Visio element sizes or use ER/Studio Business Architect’s default sizes.
- Click Finish and the Importing Visio Objects message box opens. Click OK to view the imported models in the Diagram View area. In the Model View, the imported diagrams are listed with all associated elements listed as subnodes. Click the Customer Loan Application tab in the Diagram View area to open the imported diagram.
