Chapter 4 Generating and reverse engineering an XSD, a DTD or an XDR file

6In the Options page, click the Select a File tool beside the File name box to select the XSD, DTD or XDR file you want to reverse engineer.

Select or clear options (See Reverse engineering options).

7In the Target Models page, select the Add Models tool if you want to maintain the shortcuts defined between the XSD, DTD or XDR file you are reverse engineering and other XML models.

A Selection dialog box appears with a list of XML models.

For more information on shortcuts, see section Target models parameters in chapter Generating from an XML model.

8 Select the XML models you want to attach as target models.
