When you paste an object in PowerDesigner, checks are applied in order to verify that no conflict occurs between the identifying properties of the objects. The identifying criteria depends on the type of object, for some objects the identifying property is just the code, for other objects, identifying properties are the name and the code.
For more information about the identifying properties of an object, see section Identifying objects.
When a paste conflict occurs, PowerDesigner automatically renames the name and/or the code of the object in the following way:

)LUVW UHQDPLQJ |
6HFRQG UHQDPLQJ |
|
Name |
Name2 |
Name3 |
|
CODE |
CODE2 |
CODE3 |
|
|
|
|
A message appears in the Output window to warn you that the object was renamed.
Renaming an entity When a paste conflict occurs on a CDM entity, the entity is renamed according to the data item options set in the model.
