Merge Models

You can import and export resources and their properties between models that may or may not be stored in an iGrafx repository. The Export function creates a *.igxml file of all resource data from the current model. You specify this *.igxml file when you want to import the extracted model data into another model.

You can also link a resource model to a resource model in the repository. For information, see Enterprise Resource Links and Updates.
