Chapter 3 Using the PowerDesigner Interface

Creating an object in the Model Explorer

You can create objects in the Model Explorer. If the symbol of the new object does not appear in the diagram you have to select Symbol→Show Symbols and select the object check box in the Show Symbols dialog box.

Steps To create an object in the Model Explorer:

  1. Right-click the root, a model, a package or an object folder and select New→object type to display the object property sheet.
  2. Type a name and a code for the object.
  3. Click OK.

    The object appears in the Model Explorer.

Note   Object has a symbol
You can see if an object has a symbol in the diagram by opening the object list to which it belongs and customize the display of the list so the S column (S stands for Symbol) appears. If the check box corresponding to the object is selected in the S column, the object has a symbol in the diagram.

For more information about object creation and management, see the "Managing Objects" chapter.

For more information about customizing the display of a list, see the "Using Lists" section.
