Chapter 2 Getting Started with PowerDesigner

Creating a modeling project in Visual Studio

You can create a modeling project in its own standalone solution, or add a modeling project to an existing solution.

To create a modeling project:

1. [optional] Open an existing solution to which you want to add the modeling project.
2. Select File→New→Project to open the New Project window:
   
3. Select PowerDesigner in the Project types pane, and then Modeling Project in the Templates pane.
4. Enter a name for the project, and specify a location for its files.
5. Select one of the following options in the Solution field:
   
   
   • Add to Solution – to add the project to an existing solution
   • Create new Solution – to create a new solution.
6. Click OK to go to the PowerDesigner New Project window:
   
7. Select the type of PowerDesigner project to create. PowerDesigner project templates allow you to create projects that are already populated with models and/or that contain matrices that help you to follow various modeling frameworks, such as FEAF.
8. Confirm the name, location, and root, and click OK to create the project.

For detailed information about working with projects, see the Projects and Framework Matrices chapter.
