Opening a Model

You open models using the File menu or directly in the Browser.

By default, when you open a workspace, the models linked to workspace are closed, in order to save working memory. Simply double-click a model or right-click it and select Open to open it. To open a closed model as read-only, right-click it and select Open as Read-only.
  1. Select File > Open from the PowerDesigner menu bar to open a file selection dialog.
  2. [optional] To open the model as read-only, select the Open as read-only check box.
  3. Browse to and select a model, and then click OK.

    The model is added to the workspace and opened in the Browser.
