What version of PD are you using? Have you modified the XDB file? What options do you see in the database menu item? thanks in advance Justin

MetaIntegration can do it, from the newer versions at least. But you will pay for the privelidge $5K. Visio does not have strict models, that is they can be anything , weakly typed I guess. So the question is what sort of Visio models they would create. To convert PowerDesigner models manually...

Hello . Looking in the database definition file - DBMS -> edit curent dbms I have found this for alternate keys unique (%COLUMNS%) Is this what you wanted? ---------------------------- An alternate key is made up of one or more columns whose values uniquely identify every row in the table...

Leave cardinality as optional till you know, then change the model accordingly, the default is 0..n which is optional , i.e there may be 0 or n instances of Entity A. Regards Jay

Purely a coincidence! :) I am dissapointed they did not reply to you sooner however. Jay
