Check if the invalid models exist in the project. The invalid models may be generated due to the software problems.
It may cause a fatal error if the project is edited with the invalid models.
If you find an invalid model, report it to support.

Reset All Model ID

Reset the IDs of all models and treat the original and clone models as two different models.
In the cloned file, the IDs of all clone models will be the same as the original ones.
Renaming a clone model does not change the ID of that model.
Therefore, when merging projects, the original model and the clone model are treated as the same model even if they have different names.

Check the following notes before execution.

Notes:

  • Since all model IDs are reset, the renamed clone model and the original model are treated as different models. Diagram Elements will also be processed as new ones at the time of merging (reference).

  • You need not to do this action multiple times for one Project.

  • [Undo] cannot be done after the action is executed.

  • It is recommended to back up the Project before executing the action.
