Importing a component from a directory (Component Sharing Wizard)
You can import components that have been exported to a directory (see: Exporting a component to a directory).
To import a component from a directory:
1. From Modeler, open the Model into which you want to import a component from a CWF file.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Component Wizard, and then click Import From Directory
3. Follow the instructions of the Component Sharing Wizard pages to import the component from a directory.

If you require help with a Component Sharing Wizard page, click the Help button.
On the Stub Analysis Report page (Step 6 of 7), you ideally want the text 'No External Dependencies' displayed, so that no Stubs are created in the CWF file. If any items are listed, the import will create Stubs in your model.
If there are protected Packages in the model for which you do not have access permissions to unprotect, you are prompted to abort or continue the import. Continuing the import can result in items being converted to stubs.
If you going to repeat the same import at a later date, you may want to save the options you have set to a configuration file that you can use with the command line interface – on the Share Component page (Step 7 of 7), click Save, and then click Configuration File (see Overview of the Component Sharing Wizard command line interface).
