Exporting Requirements as Design Objects

The Requirement Export Wizard allows you to export requirements as design objects in other PowerDesigner models. The resulting design objects bear the same name and code as their corresponding requirement. A traceability link is created between each design object and its corresponding requirement.

Select Requirements > Export Requirements as Design Objects to open the Export Requirements Wizard:
Specify the requirements that you want to export as design objects, and then click Next.
Specify the model to which you want to export the requirements from among the models open in the workspace, and then click Next.
Specify the kind of object that you want to create in the target model (for example, a class in an OOM), and then click Finish to start the export.
The design objects created from the requirements appear in the specified design model.

Note:

By default, the symbols of the new design objects do not appear in the diagram. To display them, you can either drag and drop the design objects from the Browser to the diagram, or select Symbol > Show Symbols, in the menu bar, and select the symbols in the Show Symbols dialog box.
