Ah, OK. MagicDraw has a concept called "modules". A model can be a module and can be re-used by other models (or modules, as well). You can create an entire hierarchy of modules. To create a module, click the right mouse button on a package in the containment tree. Select "Modules, Export module...". To use a module that you have created, open another model and click "File, Use Profile/Module". That's it! The details are described in the online help file under "Data Partitioning".

Well, with "OK" I meant that UML 1.3 leaves you no choice - the metamodel allows only one stereotype per model element. For "modern" modeling, you occasionally need more than one stereotype per model element. Chad: Is there a way to avoid using two stereotypes like Service and WebService? Just in case somebody *really* has the guts to develop UML 1.3 metafacades for AndroMDA, we should not keep him from using the web services cartridge. :-) AG> I'll also try to contact the MDE vendor and ask them whether they would AG> consider upgrading their export support to UML 1.4 and get back to you AG> on that if I get some good news. Good! Keep us updated! Cheers...
