Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner
The related diagram feature is used to detail the behavior and define the implementation of objects into other diagrams. You can link an object to a diagram of another model type when you need to highlight a specific aspect of implementation.
For example, you can create the list of physical diagrams related to CDM entities. This allows you to follow the implementation process of entities.
For more information on related diagrams, see the "Defining related diagrams" section in the "Managing Models" chapter in the General Features Guide .
You can use the impact analysis feature from the Dependencies tab of the diagram to assess which object would be affected by a change of the current diagram.
For more information on impact analysis used with requirements and design objects, see the "Monitoring Links Using Impact Analysis" section.
