Original: Using PowerDesigner reverse engineering to export PDM models and generate documents
Recently, it is necessary to refactor and optimize old projects. Since the projects are all years ago, the relevant design materials are very incomplete. The most basic database design documents are not available. You can only use PowerDesigner reverse engineering to export PDM models and generate word documents; the following briefly introduces the export model operation steps (the following demonstration operations are derived from SQL Server)
First Step: First open PowerDesigner and click the file button in the upper right corner
