Extracting All Schema-Defined Methods

In addition to the Extract command in the Methods menu that enables you to extract only the method selected in the Methods List of the Class Browser or Primitive Types Browser to a .mth file, the Methods menu in other browsers (for example, the Methods View, Messages, References, Methods, and Methods Status List browsers) provide the Extract All Schema-Defined command. Use this command to extract all schema-defined methods displayed in that methods list to a partial schema (.scm) file.

To extract all schema-defined methods in the current Methods List

1. Use the Extract All Schema-Defined command from the Types or the Methods menu. The Extract dialog Extract Options sheet is then displayed.

2. Click the Browse button at the right of the Schema File Name text box. The common Save As dialog is then displayed, to enable you to specify the name and location of your partial schema file. The file name defaults to the name of the current schema, with a .scm suffix. The location defaults to your Jade working directory.

3. Click on the Selective tab to display the Selective sheet and then specify the methods you want to extract. For details, see "Specifying Selective Options", earlier in this chapter.

4. Click on the Schema Options tab to display the Schema Options sheet and then specify what you want to be extracted. For details, see "Specifying Your Schema Options", earlier in this chapter.
