Chapter 11 PowerDesigner File Format Specification

Modifying an XML file using a standard Editor

If you are using a standard editor, you can customize the XML formatting as defined in section Modifying an XML file.

Steps To modify the content of an XML file:

  1. Open the file in a text editor.

    The content of the XML file is displayed. The objects are ordered according to the collections they belong to.
  2. Browse through the file or use the search tool to find an object name in the model.
  3. You can modify directly the properties of an object being careful not to modify the begin and end markups of the object definition, i.e. between the < and > symbols.
  4. Save and close the file.

    If you open the file in PowerDesigner, the object will appear with the new name.
