Importing IBM Rational Rose (MDL) models  
It is possible to convert models designed in IBM Rational Rose 2003 to this format. The following file formats are supported: .mdl, .ptl, .cat, and .sub.
For import, you create a new design UML 1.5 project based on the IBM Rational Rose project.  
Importing from XMI
Exporting to XMI  
XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) enables the exchange of metadata information. Using XMI, you can exchange models across languages and applications. For example, if you have a modeling project created with another tool, you can import it as an XMI file for extension or as the basis of a new project. Likewise, you can export modeling projects for use in other applications. The result in each case is a single, portable .xml file.
The modeling feature supports UML 1.3 Unisys XMI interchange for 8 types of UML diagrams.
This feature is available for design projects that comply with the UML 1.5 specification.  
Importing from UML Modeling  
You can reuse models created in older versions of UML modeling.  
Exporting Quality Assurance metric charts to images  
Create a chart and then export it to image.
