Creating a Diagram or a Diagram from a Selection

By default, any model or package opens with a default diagram. You can create as many diagrams as you want in a model or in a package. You can also select two or more symbols in an existing diagram and create a new diagram from your selection.

You can create a diagram in any of the following ways:

Select View > Diagram > New Diagram > Diagam type . If you have previously selected any object symbols, then the selected symbols will be copied into the new diagram. Alternatively, if you have selected two or more symbols in a diagram, you can right-click a selected symbol and choose Create Diagram from Selection.
Note: Since PowerDesigner objects can appear in multiple diagrams, the selected objects are not duplicated in the Browser, but they are now present in both the original and the new diagram.
Right-click the background of your diagram and select Diagram > New Diagram > Diagram type .
Right-click the model node in the Browser and select New > Diagram type .

In each case you will be invited to specify a name, code, and optional comment for the new diagram.
