Hi Mamad,

Currently, we only support exporting the entire project as XML via:
ApplicationManager.getModelConvertionManager().exportXML(project, …)

We will consider supporting the chosen diagrams. I will post again when it’s supported.

Hey @Jick
Can you please give us an example on how to export the XML of all the project.
I thought that the “project” argument in exportXML is of type IProject. so i did somthing like this:
IProject project = ApplicationManager.instance().getProjectManager().getProject();
ApplicationManager.getModelConvertionManager().exportXML(project, new File("…"))
but project is of type “component” i don’t understand this.
and any news about exporting single diagram as XML ?
Thank you

Hi Hamza,

You don’t need to pass the project. Just pass the file would be fine.

The suggestion about exporting a single diagram as XML is still pending to be reviewed. I will post here when there is any update.

Hey Jick, thanks for your replay.
When I pass the path to the VP project file, it displays a message saying that there is no diagram. But my project does.

Hi Hamza,

The path parameter is the output path of the XML file, not the project file. The API helps to export your current project to the path specified, as XML…
