Chapter 3 Getting Started with the PowerDesigner Eclipse Plugin

Working with Objects

Model objects are the building blocks of your models. They are listed as items in the Model Explorer and often also appear as symbols in your diagrams.

There are two main types of objects:

• Ordinary Objects – such things as tables and entities, which are self-sufficient, and can be created in isolation from other objects
• Link Objects – such things as associations or dependencies, which link two ordinary objects, and cannot be created in isolation
