Chapter 4 Extending your Models with Profiles


Templates and Generated Files (Profile)

The PowerDesigner Generation Template Language (GTL) is used to generate files from metaclasses and for scripting. You write a template in GTL, using variables that allow you to access properties of the current object or any other object in the model.

You can define templates and generated files for metaclasses, stereotypes, and criteria. If a template applies to all metaclasses, then you should create it in the Shared category.

For detailed information about the GTL, see the Customizing Generation with GTL chapter.
