Chapter 2 Information Liquidity Model Basics

Opening an existing ILM

An Information Liquidity Model has the file extension .ILM.

Missing extended model definitions

If PowerDesigner cannot find the extended model definition attached to the Information Liquidity Model you want to open, the Missing Extended Model Definitions dialog box is displayed to let you select another extended model definition to attach to the model.

The Missing Extended Model Definitions dialog box displays the name and path of the missing(s) extended model definition(s).

You can either:

• Browse and select the missing extended model definition. When you select the correct path and file, the extended model definition disappears from the list
• Delete the link between the model and the shared extended model definition. The missing extended model definition disappears from the list

For more information on missing extended model definitions, see section Missing extended model definition, in chapter Managing Objects, in the General Features Guide .

To open an existing ILM:

1. Select File→Open to display a standard open file dialog box.
2. Select a file with the .ILM extension.
3. Click Open.
   
   The model is displayed in the Browser and a diagram opens in the diagram window.
