Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner
You can use impact analysis to verify if an object is the target of a shortcut and evaluate the impact of changes on this target object.
A shortcut sub-tab automatically is displayed in the Dependencies tab of a target object provided the referencing model is open in the workspace. This is to inform you that the current object has shortcuts in other models.
If you click the Impact Analysis button in the Dependencies tab you can see a graph of dependencies of the current object, and the impact of any type of change on the target object.
If the referencing model is closed but consolidated in the repository, you can click the Extract Dependencies tool in the impact analysis dialog box to display shortcut links.
