The model settings file records wizard settings you have specified for reverse engineering, such as the root object, root directory, selected files for reverse engineering, search paths and directories to include.

If the Model Settings File box is blank, you must select a previously saved model settings file or create a new one:

• To create a model settings file, click the

New Settings File button, and then specify a name and location for the file.

• To select a model settings file, click the

Select Settings File button, and then select the settings file you want to use.

If you hover the mouse pointer over the Model Settings File box, a tool tip provides the full path of model settings file.

You may want to create different model settings files for different reverse engineering scenarios.

The Save Settings on Exit check box determines whether the Model Settings File is updated on exiting the Reverser. For more information see the Save Settings on Exit Check Box section that follows.

Select the root object, that is, the Model, a Package or a Class. By default, the root object is the Model.

To select a root object, click the

Select Package button, and then select the required Model, Package or Class. You can select the Model, any Package that has Folder mapping and is not a child of a Namespace Package, or any Class that is scoped to a Package that is not a child of a Namespace Package. All child Packages of a Namespace Package and any Classes those Packages contain are not available for selection.

If you move the mouse pointer over the Root Object box, a ToolTip displays the fully scoped name of the root object.

In the Root Directory box, type the directory path, or click the

Select Directory button, and then select the required folder. The root directory is used when searching for files to reverse engineer.

Specifies that you want to update the selected model settings file on exiting the Reverser:

• If you exit the Reverser through the Finish button, the settings are saved automatically.

• If you exit the Reverser through the Cancel button or by closing the Reverser, you are prompted to save or not save the settings.
