Chapter 2 Conceptual Data Model Basics
Extended dependencies are links between CDM objects. These links help to make object relationships clearer but are not interpreted and checked by PowerDesigner, as they are meant to be used for documentation purposes only.
You can complement these links by applying stereotypes. Stereotypes are used to define extended dependencies between objects in the CDM.
You can type stereotypes directly in the Stereotype column of the object property sheet or select a value from the dropdown listbox if you have previously defined stereotypes in an embedded or imported extended model definition (.XEM).
For more information on extended dependencies, see section Using Extended Dependencies in chapter Using the PowerDesigner Interface in the General Features Guide.
