Dear all,

I'm a newbie of this software (in case i just know visio for these
kind software), as my colleagues said that PowerDesigner has such
models/objects as the image below:

Therefore I need to draw the graph like the link, but I still can't
find them yet....Can someone tell me the way to find them? Thanks so
much.

Regards,
Angus

PowerDesigner is not a drawing tool (although it has plenty of drawing
capabilities).
In PD you first define the (data or object) model objects - which you
can do straight from a diagram - then arrange the diagram representing
them to look the way you want.

The PD documentation is online here:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.infocenter.powerdesigner.15.3/doc/html/title.html
Start reading about diagrams in general here:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38093.1530/doc/html/rad1232024090889.html
Then about data modeling in its own chapter here:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38058.1530/doc/html/title.html

One can auto-arrange symbols in a diagram according to several pre-
defined layouts; see about the "auto-layout" feature here:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38093.1530/doc/html/rad1232024161220.html

Hope this helps.
