Chapter 5 Managing Models

Managing hierarchical diagrams

You can use packages to build a multi-level structure within your model. In each level of the hierarchy, you can create diagrams in order to manage different views of the model objects.

PowerDesigner offers two features to help you navigate among the hierarchy of diagrams within a model:

• The diagram tree shows the list of diagrams of the current model
• The navigation listbox in the toolbar

Diagram display rules

When you navigate in the diagram hierarchy, diagrams appear according to display rules.

For more details on the diagram display rules, see the "Opening an existing model" section.
