Multiplicity

The cardinality of each of an attribute is called the multiplicity.

Cardinality

0..0

0..1

0..*

1..1

1..*

Number of instances in relation

None

None or one

None to infinity

One to one

One to infinity

Infinity

You can change the default format of cardinalities from the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sybase\PowerDesigner 7\ModelOptions\Cld

MultiplicityNotation = 1 (0..1) or 2 (0,1)

Creating an attribute

There are three ways to create an attribute:

♦Create an attribute symbol in the Browser

♦Add a new attribute to the list of attributes

♦Create an attribute from a class in a diagram

Creating an attribute from the Browser

ϖTo create an attribute from the Browser:

1 Right-click the Attributes category in the Browser. 2 Select New from the contextual menu.
