Hi Amit,

not sure, what you're trying to do... I don't knwo any CDS specific extension. Maybe the DBMS you have choosen for your model is wrong? If you select HANA CDS Repository or HANA CDS HDI, then you can export CDS objects by Database -> Export CDS Object

BR,

Rafal

It's not on my PC, is it a standard PD option? What are CDS files, and what type of model would they be generated from?

Its actually a standard database option in the powerdesigner. Core Data Services (CDS) artifacts are design-time definitions. When CDS file is activated, it generate runtime objects. These can be generated from a Physical data Model in a powerdesigner.

According to this blog entry from 2015, the extension is needed -

This isn't something I can test 🙂
