Setting Model Options

You can set XSM model options by selecting Tools > Model Options or right-clicking the diagram background and selecting Model Options.

You can set the following options on the Model Settings page:

Option

Description

Name/Code case sensitive

Specifies that the names and codes for all objects are case sensitive, allowing you to have two objects with identical names or codes but different cases in the same model. If you change case sensitivity during the design process, we recommend that you check your model to verify that your model does not contain any duplicate objects.

Enable links to requirements

Displays a Requirements tab in the property sheet of every object in the model, which allows you to attach requirements to objects (see Requirements Modeling).

For information about controlling the naming conventions of your models, see Core Features Guide > The PowerDesigner Interface > Objects > Object Properties > Naming Conventions.
