Chapter 6 Working with Enterprise Architecture Models

Importing objects from another model into an EAM

The Import Objects Wizard helps you to import objects from other PowerDesigner models into an EAM to model their placement in your enterprise architecture.

Steps To import objects from another model into an EAM:

  1. Select Tools →Import Objects to open the Import Objects Wizard:
  2. Specify the model from which you want to import the objects to the EAM from among the models open in the workspace, and then click Next.
  3. Specify the objects that you want to import to the EAM by selecting them from among the sub-tabs in the selection field, and then click Next.
  4. Specify the kind of object that you want to create in the EAM and the location (package) where you want to create them.
  5. [optional] Enter or select a stereotype to identify the type of dependency that will be created between the objects and the EAM objects that you are creating from them. For example, "Implements".
  6. Click Finish to start the import.

    The objects are imported to and created in the EAM.
