Chapter 9 Working with Data Models
Extended dependencies are links between PDM objects. These links help to make object relationships clearer but are not interpreted and checked by PowerDesigner as they are meant to be used for documentation purposes only.
You can complement these links by applying stereotypes. Stereotypes are used to define extended dependencies between objects in the PDM.
You can type stereotypes directly in the Stereotype column of the object property sheet or select a value from the list if you have previously defined stereotypes in an embedded or imported extended model definition (.XEM).
For more information on extended model definitions, see "Extended Model Definitions" in the Resource Files and the Public Metamodel chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
