Import from a Previous Version

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

Follow these steps:

Expand the Model Explorer, right-click Naming Standard and click New.
A new Naming Standard object is added.
Right-click the new object (or an existing object) and click Properties.
The Naming Standard Editor appears.
Click Import Other.
Select the .NSM file and then click Open.
The NSM file is displayed as a new Naming Standard 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.

Apply Naming Standards by Binding a Model Template

When you bind a model template to the current model, the naming standards are also applied. If you run the wizard to select individual objects to bind, select the Naming_Options, NSM_Option, and NSM_Glossary_Word check boxes.
