The majority of PowerDesigner models contain diagrams, in which your model objects are represented by symbols.
Diagrams
A diagram is a graphical view of a model or a package. All models and packages have at least one diagram.
Dependency Matrices
Create dependency matrices, to review and create links between any kind of objects. You can create an individual matrix from the Browser or define a matrix in a resource file.
Manipulating Symbols
You can modify the display of individual symbols in a model including object symbols, links, graphic shapes, and lines.
Importing and Exporting Model Graphics
A model can incorporate external graphic files in one of several formats. The imported images are stored in the model when it is saved, and are present the next time you open the model.
