1. The most common PDM (physical data model)
2. More commonly used CDM, LDM (conceptual data model, logical data Model)
3. Object-oriented models (object-oriented model)

I used 15.1, too lazy to download 16.5
Because I used 12.5 before, as if I used 9, I feel that each time the change is not big. In case can not find the crack is more troublesome.
My 15.1 have cracked files, also have Chinese bag. I only cracked, useless Chinese bag, in English is very good.
If you have money, you can buy it. As far as I know, Sybase's stuff isn't too expensive, but it's not cheap. The database is cheaper than Oracle, but more expensive than the domestic one.

About various documents

1. CDM, LDM, PDM will automatically produce CDB, LDB, PDB files, these db files can be deleted, will be automatically regenerated
2. A workspace can have more than one model, general workspace can not save
3. Under a model, you cannot have an entity with duplicate names.
4. It's annoying to remind you to save workspace every time you close.

Generate LDM based on CDM

Tools->generate Logical Data Model--Detail
Remove check model tick (important, otherwise entity repeat), OK
CDM, LDM, PDM can generate each other, similarly.

You must adjust the font by adjusting the existing model font

CTRL + A Select all->symbol->format->font->entity Name (very important)->size selection 10

Adjust default fonts uniformly

Tools, Display Preference., Format, Table, Modify, Font, Set as Default

Adjust color

Select any object in the diagram->symbol->format-> Fill
Select any object in the diagram->symbol->format-> line Style

Painting diagram

To drag and drop entity to diagram, do not copy, or report entity cannot duplicate the name of the error
