Activating PowerDesigner Toolbars

Specific toolbars are set by default in the PowerDesigner perspective. If for some reason, they do not appear in the toolbar section, you can activate them manually.

  1. Select Window > Customize Perspective or right-click the toolbar section and select Customize Perspective in the contextual menu, to open the Customize Perspective dialog box.
  2. In the Shortcuts tab:
    • Select New in the Submenus list, and PowerDesigner in the Shortcut Categories tree view. The Model icon is selected in the Shortcuts list.

    • Select Open Perspective in the Submenus list, and PowerDesigner in the Shortcuts list.

    • Select Show View in the Submenus list, and Sybase in the Shortcut Categories tree view. The Model Explorer, Modeling Output and Modeling Result List icons are selected in the Shortcuts list.

  3. In the Commands tab, select WorkSpace Modeling Diagram, WorkSpace Modeling Standard and WorkSpace Modeling View.
  4. Click OK.

    The PowerDesigner toolbars appear next to the Eclipse toolbars. These toolbars are common to all PowerDesigner modules. Module-specific toolbars will appear automatically when you open or create a model.
