New Features and Enhancements › Redesigned Naming Standards Tool

Redesigned Naming Standards Tool

The way you create and apply naming standards has been redesigned. In the previous versions of CA ERwin DM, you accessed Naming Standards Editor without opening CA ERwin DM. Naming Standards Editor, which is renamed as NSM Option Editor, is now an ERwin object and is accessed from the Model Explorer. Now you must open CA ERwin DM to open NSM Option Editor. NSM Option Editor looks similar to database property editors.

You can create multiple NSM Option objects and select one object to attach with a model. You can attach an NSM Option object to a model template. This helps you apply naming standards to all models at the enterprise level with a single click. You can import the naming standards from a previous version of CA ERwin DM into NSM Option Editor using the editor itself.

To access NSM Option Editor:

1. Expand the Model Explorer, right-click NSM Options and select New.

   A new NSM Option object appears.

2. Right-click the new object and select Properties.

   NSM Option Editor appears.
