Import Resource Script
Enterprise Architect supports the import and export of Microsoft WindowsTM Resource Scripts (as .rc files), which contain the Win32 dialog definitions (those with the stereotype «win32Dialog») for an application's graphical user interface. Dialog resources are imported and exported for a specific location, which defaults to the location of the current computer system.
