Chapter 3 Projects and Framework Matrices
PowerDesigner display preferences allow you to customize the format of object symbols, and the information that is displayed on them.
To set project display preferences, select Tools→Display Preferences (or [project diagram only] right-click the diagram background and select Display Preferences).
Changing the format of symbols
For information about changing the format of symbols, see "Format display preferences" in the Customizing your Modeling Environment chapter. Note that only framework architects (see Designing Framework Matrices), are allowed to modify the framework matrix format display preferences (see "Symbol format properties" in the Diagrams and Symbols chapter).
To set display preferences for a particular object, select it under the Content category. The following table provides an alphabetical list of the display preferences available. The objects available to be customized in the Display Preferences window depend upon the current diagram type.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Displays the code of the object. |
| Completion status | [cells only] Displays a rectangle, which represents the work completion status according to the percentage entered in the cell's floating list and property sheet. |
| Documents | [cells only] Displays the list of documents in the cell. This preference prevents you from working with floating lists. |
| Stereotype | Displays the stereotype of the object. |
| Type | [dependency links only] Displays the type of the dependency link, which can include mapping links, shortcut links, generation links, etc. |
