Hi Marsha,

          Sorry for the late reply,

          What I have done to copy the content of one file to another 
is  as follows:

    In my second digram file creation wizard, I have added a wizard 
page to choose the template file. And on performFinish() of the wizard I 
copy the content of the selected template file in to my newly created 
xmi file, of the new digram.

    (ButThe layout is not maintained as I am not copying the content of 
digram file, and copying the content of digram file is not possible as 
it contains some unique id's for each digram plugin.)

The sample code is as follows,

public boolean performFinish() {
........................
.......................

IPath templateFilePath=new Path(tempPath);
IFile templateFile = 
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(templateFilePath);
IFile newFile = getNewModelFile();

try {
 newFile.setContents(templateFile.getContents(), 1, progressMonitor);
} catch (CoreException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}

........................
.......................
}



                                 Thanks                    Biju
