Most PowerDesigner models contain diagrams, in which your model objects are represented by symbols. You can add a dependency matrix to any model to show relationships between objects.
Diagrams
A diagram is a graphical view of a model or a package. All models and packages have at least one diagram, and you can add additional diagrams as necessary. Objects can appear in multiple diagrams, and their symbols can show different kinds of information in each diagram.
Dependency Matrices
You can create dependency matrices to review and create links between any kind of objects. You can create an individual matrix from the Browser or define a matrix in a resource file for reuse.
Symbols
PowerDesigner gives you wide control over the formatting and arrangement of your object symbols.
Display Preferences
Display preferences control the format of the symbols in your diagrams and the information displayed on them. You can control the default display preferences for all objects, or set preferences for all, selected, or new objects in the current diagram.
