Chapter 8 Managing Objects

Creating an object in an object list

You can create an object in a list of objects. Link objects can be created in a list of objects only if you have previously defined source and destination objects in your diagram. In PowerDesigner, the lists show objects of the same type belonging to the current package or model.

To create an object in a list of objects:

1. Select Model→object list to open the corresponding list.
2. Click the Add a Row tool.
   
   or
   
   Click the Insert a row tool, if the list is ordered.
   
   A new item is added at the end of the list or before the selected row in the list, with a default name you can modify.
3. Type an object name and an object code.
4. (For link objects only), select a source and a destination object.
5. Click OK.
   
   
      Associated symbol in diagram
   By default, when you create an object in a list of objects, the symbol of the new object is displayed in the current diagram.
