Finding a symbol in the diagram from an object list

You can locate any object in a diagram from an object list using the PowerDesigner Find feature.

Steps To find a symbol in the diagram from an objects list:

  1. Select Model→List of submenu.
  2. Select an object in the list.

    An arrow is displayed at the beginning of the line.
  3. Click the Find Symbol in Diagram tool.

    The symbol is selected and centered in the diagram window. To see the symbol, you have to move the list dialog box.

    When an object has several symbols within a model, a symbol selection dialog box is displayed that lets you select an object symbol among all instances of the object within the model diagrams. When you click OK the symbol is selected and centered in the current diagram window. To see the symbol, you have to move the list dialog box.

Note   Finding symbols from the Browser tree view
You can also find the symbol of an object in a diagram by right-clicking the object in the Browser tree view and select Find in Diagram from the contextual menu. The symbol of the object is centered and selected in the diagram window.
