Options - Attribute/Operations
Your use of attributes and operations can be configured in a number of ways. You can set options to:
- Delete model attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization
- Delete model methods not included in the code during reverse synchronization
- Delete code from features contained in the model during forward synchronization
- Delete model associations and aggregations that correspond to attributes not included in the code during reverse synchronization
- Define whether or not the bodies of methods are included and saved in the model when reverse engineering
- Create features in quick succession, clearing the 'Features' dialog when you click on 'Save' so that you can enter another feature name
You configure these options on the 'Attribute/Operations' page of the 'Preferences' dialog.
Access
On the 'Preferences' dialog, select the 'Source Code Engineering > Attribute/Operations' option.
