Create a New Model

If an existing model does not meet your requirements, you can create a new model.

To create a new model

  1. Click New on the File menu.

    The Create Model - Select Template dialog opens.

  2. Select a model type from the New Model Type box, a blank template or a custom template from the Create Using Template list to base your new model on an existing model template, and the target database and version on which to base your model if you are creating a Physical or a Logical/Physical model. Click OK.

    Note: If you are creating a Logical model, the target databases and versions do not display.

    The dialog closes and you can add model objects to the model. Change the properties of any of the model objects using the property editors.
