Creating an Extension File

You can create an extension file directly in your model or from the appropriate list of extension files.

Note: Extensions, such as the Excel Import extension, which can be attached to any model type, can only be created from the All Model Types extension list. For information about creating an extension file from a list of extension files, see Creating and Copying Resource Files.
  1. Open your model, and then select Model > Extensions to open the List of Extensions.
  2. Click the Add a Row tool and enter a name for the new extension file.
  3. Click the Properties tool to open the new extension file in the Resource Editor, and create any appropriate extensions.
  4. When you have finished, click OK to save your changes and return to the List of Extensions.

    The new XEM is initially embedded in your model, and cannot be shared with any other model. For information about exporting your extensions and making them available for sharing, see Exporting an Embedded Extension File for Sharing.
