I have a XMI file which has actors and generalization between them. When i imported it to VP-UML it brought all the actors and in the Specification, it has the generalization details under Relations, but on the diagram it does not show any generalization.

Sorry for our late response. About missing of generalization in diagram, it is caused by your XMI didn't contain such diagram information. Would you mind tell me how you generate the XMI file?

Best regards,

In the XMI file there is information about Generalizations.

<UML:Namespace.ownedElement>
<UML:Generalization xmi.id = 'G.2'
name = '' visibility = 'public' isSpecification = 'false'
discriminator = ''>
<UML:Generalization.child>
<Foundation.Core.GeneralizableElement xmi.idref = 'S.6'/>
</UML:Generalization.child>
<UML:Generalization.parent>
<Foundation.Core.GeneralizableElement xmi.idref = 'S.7'/>
</UML:Generalization.parent>
</UML:Generalization>
</UML:Namespace.ownedElement>
.......

<UML:Actor xmi.id = 'S.7'
name = 'InternalUser' visibility = 'package' isSpecification = 'false'
isAbstract = 'false'>

I did an export from Borland Together , since the diagram was in together which we want to transform into VP-UML format.

Yes, the XMI contain the generalization model, but not contain any information about its presentation. That's why they are not rendered in the diagram. You can see these relationships being imported in Model Explorer (right click and select Show Relationship).
