Changing the XML language of an XML model
If you change the XML language of an XML model, you have to define the
status of the language:
XML
language Description
Share To use the shared XML language stored in the XML Languages
directory of your installation. Any changes made to the XML
language are available to the linked XML model
Copy To create a copy of the XML language in the model. The current
XML language is independent from the original XML language,
so any changes made in the XML language are not available to
other models. The XML language is saved with the model and
cannot be used by other models
Caution
PowerDesigner is delivered with a set of XML languages. It is strongly
advised to make a backup copy of each XML language before you start
modifying them.
 To change the XML language of an XML model:
1 Select Language→Change Current Language.
The Change XML Language dialog box appears.
2 Select an XML language.
3 Select the Share or Copy radio button.
