Import from a Previous Version

If you have created naming standards for a previous version of CA ERwin DM, you can import them to an NSM Option object. You import a .NSM file.

Follow these steps:

1. Expand the Model Explorer, right-click NSM Options and click New.

   A new NSM Option object is added.

2. Right-click the new object (or an existing object) and click Properties.

   NSM Option Editor appears.

3. Click Import Other.
4. Select the .NSM file and then click Open.

   The NSM file is displayed as a new NSM Option object. The standards for Logical and Physical models are displayed in the respective tabs. The glossary words and corresponding abbreviations are displayed in the Glossary tab.
