Importing ToolNames from Rose (Connector for IBM Rational Rose)
Connector for IBM Rational Rose can import also additional ToolNames that could be present in the original Rose model. Every imported ToolName will be created in Modeler as a Stereotype applied to the corresponding object, and all the Properties belonging to a ToolName will be created in Modeler as Tag Definitions associated to the relative Stereotype, and assigned to the corresponding values in Rose model.
To do this, you should backup and then change the RSEPROPS.INI file that is installed in the following location, assuming Modeler is installed to the default location.
For 64-bit versions of Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windchill Modeler\Modeler\Exe\
For 32-bit versions of Windows:
C:\Program Files\Windchill Modeler\Modeler\Exe\
You should create a new section in RSEPROPS.INI where you put the list of the ToolNames you want to import:
[RoseImport_ToolNames]
Toolname1
Toolname2
Toolname3
...
Then, for every ToolName, you should create a corresponding section, where you should put the list of Properties you want to import:
[Toolname1]
Property1_a
Property1_b
...

[Toolname2]
Property2_a
Property2_b
...
Optionally, you could also change the default prefix RoseImp_ that will be automatically added to all the Tag Definitions:
[RoseImport]
TagPrefix=MyRoseImportPrefix_
Now, save the changes to RSEPROPS.INI, and run again Connector for IBM Rational Rose as usual. All the ToolNames and the related Properties that are listed in the RSEPROPS.INI file will be automatically imported to the Model in Modeler.
* 
All the new Stereotypes and Tag Definitions will be created under the root package named Rose Import ToolNames, but could be eventually moved elsewhere.
