Generating report with both current and referenced projects
Agilian enables you to re-use model elements from dependent project in developing your current project. Nevertheless, when you want to generate a project which consists of a few model elements from dependent project in report, image it would be a toil to generate both projects separately since they are independent. With the enhanced feature in Agilian 3.0, you now can generate report for the current and dependent projects all at once. This tutorial will demonstrate you how to generate both dependent and current projects in PDF report once.
- Download Library.vpp from this tutorial and save it in your machine in advance.
- Create a new project by selecting File > New Project from the main menu. In the New Project dialog box, enter Library Collection as project name and then click Create Blank Project button.

- Add a dependent project to current project with starting Agilian. Open Model Explorer, right click on it and select Manage Dependent Project... from the pop-up menu.

- In the Manage Dependent Projects dialog box, click Add button to add Library.vpp. Click Close button.

- Create a new class diagram by selecting UML > Class Diagram from the toolbar.
- Drag MyCollection from the dependent project to the diagram.

- Create another class through resource icon. Move the mouse over MyCollection class, press and drag Generalization -> Class out. Release the mouse button to confirm creation. Name the class as ConcreteCollection.

- Now, you have both current and dependent project. Let's generate both projects in PDF report all at once. Select Tools > Report > Generate PDF Report... from the main menu.

- In the Generate PDF dialog box, select those diagrams you want to be generated. In this tutorial, check Class Diagram1 and Collection Framework.

- Next, specify the output path where you want your report to be saved at. Click Generate button.

The following image shows the generated PDF report with current and dependent projects.
Class Diagram1 is the current project while Collection Framework is the dependent project. You may click the bookmark to view the model's information in details. The image below shows the lib model's details:
