Chapter 2 Physical Data Model Basics
Extended dependencies are links between PDM 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 PDM.
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 model definitions, see chapter Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide in the Advanced User Documentation.
