Using PowerDesigner menu items in PowerBuilder
After you generate and link a PowerBuilder target to an OOM
through reverse–engineering, PowerDesigner menu items are
enabled in the pop-up menus for objects in that target as described
in Table 4-1.

Find in Class Diagram |
The Open Class Diagram menu item opens or changes focus to
the class diagram for the selected PowerBuilder library. The Find
in Class Diagram menu item opens or changes focus to the class diagram
for the library containing the selected object, then changes focus
to the corresponding class for that object in the class diagram.
These menu items cause an error message to display if the target
is not linked to an OOM.
You link an OOM to a PowerBuilder target by reverse-engineering
the target or by selecting an OOM file in the Plug-in Attributes
dialog box. You can open this dialog box from the target pop-up
menu or from the Reverse Engineer dialog box.
For more information, see “Reverse-engineering
a PowerBuilder target”.
If a linked OOM is not present in the plug-in PowerDesigner
browser, selecting the Open Class Diagram or Find in Class Diagram
menu item adds the OOM to the Local tab of the browser in addition
to opening the class diagram or finding an object in the diagram.
