Hello guys,
Reusing specializations quickly in new models is not easy, unless you've got a special diagram with all specialized elements that you copy/paste between models.
I use different specializations accordingly to the project/model/audience and maybe you'll find this minimalistic script handy too.

Approach- Create a folder wih all your icons
- Create a mapping.properties file in your icons folder with the following syntax:
specialization=element-type

Hi,
Just in case you didn't think about it: your can also create a model which only contains specializations' definition and import this model into other model to automate the creation of the specializations.

Thanks Jean-Baptiste,
I didn't know about that approach as I usually don't import models. It's great to have multiple options.
Cheers,
Yves
