Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner


Selecting objects to generate

You can select objects for model generation from the Selection tab. You can generate a model from a global model or from a package within the model. Limiting model generation to a single package is useful when different designers own packages of the same model. Designers can generate their packages independently from others. Generating a package results in an independent model.

You can display in the list, objects in the current model, or objects in individual packages contained in the model. If you select the Include Sub-packages tool, you can display either all objects in the current model, or all objects in a package.

You have the following selection options:


Parent object
Include Sub-packages tool selected Include Sub-packages tool not selected
Model All objects in the model including all objects contained in packages and sub-packages All objects in the model except objects contained in packages and sub-packages
Package All objects contained in the package including all objects contained in sub-packages All objects in the package except objects contained in sub-packages
