Class diagram mappings (Connector for IBM Rational Rose)
Each selected Class Diagram is created as a Class Diagram in Modeler. The name of the Class Diagram is derived from the Package and Class Diagram names in Rose:
<package name>::<class diagram name>
The items on the Class Diagram are imported as follows.
Actor
Each Actor is created as an Actor in Modeler.
If the Actor is stereotyped by the Business Actor stereotype in the Rose model, the imported Actor is stereotyped by the «Business Actor» stereotype in Modeler. The «Business Actor» stereotype makes the Actor look similar to a Business Actor in Rose.
The following properties are imported.

If the Type includes array bounds, the Multiplicity of the Attributes is set accordingly.
The Data Type may need interpreting in Modeler.
If an Attribute is stereotyped in Rose, a Stereotype of the same name is applied to the Attribute in Modeler (Connector for IBM Rational Rose creates the Stereotype if required). If the following Stereotypes are applied to a Rose Attribute through the ANSI C++language, addition mappings are also made:

Modeler
«enum»
Each «enum» stereotyped Class is created as a Type Definition.
The Type Definition has Enum Construction and each of the Rose Class' Attributes is created as an Enumeration Literal.
If the C Profile or C++ Profile is present in the model, Connector for IBM Rational Rose applies the C Enum Literal/C++ Enum Literal to each Enumeration Literal so that the initial value can be imported to the tagged value of the C Expression/C++ Expression tag definition.
«interface»
Each «interface» stereotyped Class is created as an Interface.
«struct»
Each «struct» stereotyped Class is created as a Data Type.
«typedef»
Each «typedef» stereotyped Class is created as a Type Definition.

Each «union» stereotyped Class is created as a Union Class, that is, the Union check box is selected.
If a Class has the ANSI C++ language assigned, Connector for IBM Rational Rose imports the following properties (BodySourceFile and HeaderSourceFile properties are not imported):
Rose ANSI C++ Property
Modeler Property

ImplementationType
If ImplementationType value is single-lined and fewer than 101 characters - Data Type of Type Definition created for «typedef» stereotyped Class.
If ImplementationType value is multi-lined or greater than 100 characters - Tagged value of CplusplusImplementationType tag definition.
Important: To import ImplementationType values that are multi-lined or greater than 100 characters, you must create a CplusplusImplementationType tag definition and apply it through a Stereotype to Type Definitions.
If a Class has the VC++ language assigned, Connector for IBM Rational Rose does not import the CodeFileName and HeaderFileName properties.
If a Class is parameterized, Connector for IBM Rational Rose sets up the imported Class as a Template Class - on the Class' Property Pages, the Template check box is selected, and the Formal Template Parameters are set accordingly.
Dependency
Each Dependency link is created as a Dependency of the appropriate type in Modeler.
If a Dependency has the ANSI C++ language assigned, Connector for IBM Rational Rose does not import the BodyReferenceOnly property.
