Generating a new PDM
When you generate from an OOM to a new PDM, PowerDesigner creates a new PDM containing all the objects that you selected to generate in the OOM. The newly created PDM appears in the browser and the corresponding diagram opens in the main diagram window.
You can only generate a PDM from the active OOM diagram window.
