Specifying the file name for an IDL file (IDL code)
By default, the name of an IDL file that is generated for a Bound Module, Component, Interface, Message or Package is taken from the IDL item from which the IDL file is generated.
To specify a non-default name for an IDL file:
1. If you have not done so already, add the IDL Profile package to your Model. How?
2. Apply the «Source» stereotype from the IDL Profile to the item for which you want to specify a non-default name.
3. Open the item's Property Pages, and then click the Source tab.
4. Set the tagged value of the file nametag definition to the file name you want to generate, ensuring that you include the file name extension in the tagged value.
