When you are using PowerDesigner, you need a text editor for:
♦Editing descriptions and annotations for object
♦Editing generated scripts like SQL in the PDM or Java in the OOM
♦Editing code like class operation implementation or trigger SQL code
♦Editing file objects
PowerDesigner allows you to define text editors in the General Options dialog box.
You can define as many text editors as you want for your file extensions. The same file extension can have several text editors. The first editor you defined for your file extension becomes the default editor since the list of editors is not sorted.
The list of editors also contains the editors you define to edit codes or notes or to open file objects using the feature.
