Importing a Project Created in TVS, TEC, TJB, or TPT

Together supports full backward compatibility with the previous version. You can open your old projects in the regular way.

You can also import projects created in other editions of Together.

Warning: Diagrams in projects must be created in the common diagram format .txv*. The legacy diagram format .df* is not supported.

Warning: Diagram elements must be embedded (created as filemates). Standalone design elements (SDE) are not supported.

The general procedure for importing a project created in name="Delphi"TVS, TEC, TJB, or TPT consists of the following steps:

To create a new project for import:

Choose File->New->Other on the main menu. The New Project dialog window opens.
Select the project template. Note that the project type should correspond to the type of the source project:
- For a UML 1.x design project, choose Design project->UML 1.5 Design ProjectTogether design project->UML 1.5 Together Design Project.
- For a UML 2.x design project, choose Design project->UML 2.0 Design ProjectTogether design project->UML 2.0 Together Design Project.
Enter the project name.
Warning: The project name should be exactly equal to the source project name. Adjust the remainder of the settings on your own.
Click OK to create a project.
Close the project when it is created.

To import the model information:

Open Windows Explorer or any other file manager.
Copy all model files including subfolders from the source project to the ModelSupport_%PROJECTNAME% folder under your new project root. These files are located under diagrams, ModelSupport or Model Folder directories, depending on the version of Together.
Note: For some projects
these files are located in the same folders as the source code files. In this case you will have to pick out the modeling files manually. Basically, you need all files with .txv* and .txa* extensions.
If you have an implementation project and you need to keep your source code, copy it from the source project to the new one keeping the folder structure.
Open the project in RAD Studio. Open the Project Manager.
Choose the project root node.
Right-click and choose Add... on the context menu. The Add to Project dialog box opens. In this dialog box, choose the first source file from the src folder and click OK.
Repeat the last steps for all source and modeling files.

Result: RAD Studio processes your files. When completed, the imported project is displayed in the Model and Diagram Views.
