Request: Rational Rose file import/export
Last modified: 2019-03-20 10:59:17 UTC
Users have requested import/export of rational rose files, if it is at all possible. See also my list of other GNOME feature requests at: http://primates.ximian.com/~aaron/requests.html
Are RR's file formats even documented ?
A quick look on http://www.wotsit.org/ does not turn up any documentation Last time i looked the Rational Rose File Format is text based and looks a lot like Lisp/Scheme/etc with lots of (parenthesis and values) (all over the place) i will provide samples on request. if autodia actually worked i would be able to provide both dia and rational rose documents generated from the same source code.
more stuff Evaluation versions of Rational Software including Rational Rose (win/unix/linux) can be found here http://www.rational.com/tryit/index.jsp Rational Rose http://www.rational.com/tryit/rose/index.jsp i googled and found a Rational Rose MDL file (Rational uses .MDL model and .PTL petal files) http://www.enteract.com/~spribyl/se455/0512_status/rrose/ there are also gifs generated from the model. http://www.enteract.com/~spribyl/se455/0512_status/rrose/pinball.mdl I found this too Conjectural Structure of Rational Rose mdl Files http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/samples/uml.mdl.html Apparently Microsoft Visual Modeler (part of Visual Studio 6) can also open .MDL files. Documentation of the Rational Rose Petal (.ptl) files http://crazybeans.sourceforge.net/CrazyBeans/doc/grammar.pdf
is there more i can do to get this moved out of the Needinfo state? I would like to move this along, but not coding. I suggest the OS could be changed to all, maybe add HELPWANTED keyword.
Alan has responded, reopening.
This could be an excellent addition, and not too hard to
get at least simple diagrams in. Some info will obviously
be lost, simply because RR keeps different kinds of
information.

came up on mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2002-November/msg00103.html suggestions about using CrazyBeans to put something together. http://crazybeans.sourceforge.net/
