Re: code import

Hello Jessica,

Round trip code import and code generation is not really supported.
That would involve removing objects (classes, attributes etc) that
were removed in the imported code.
Last time I tried, what Umbrello does is before adding a new object it
tries to find it by name in the currently loaded objects.
If the name exists then the existing object will be modified instead
of creating a new object.
I am not sure how reliably it works - there may certainly be bugs in that a=
rea.

I believe that diagrams are not automatically updated.
It may be that some diagram updates occur perchance but the mechanism
has not been looked at systematically.

There is a long standing wish on this topic,

HTH,
