Generating OOM objects to a CDM
When you generate a Conceptual Data Model (CDM) from an Object-
Oriented Model (OOM), PowerDesigner translates OOM objects and data
types to CDM objects and data types.
The current object language of an OOM has no effect on the generation to a
CDM.
Translating OOM objects into CDM objects
CDM generation translates OOM objects into conceptual objects.
