What is an OOM file

OOM files mostly belong to PowerDesigner. OOM files are PowerDesigner Object-Oriented Model files. They use XML as the underlying format to record object definitions, attributes, and relationships used in design projects.
When working with these files, note that:
  • They are created by and meant for PowerDesigner.
  • They store detailed model structures for enterprise and database design.
  • The XML format makes them readable in text editors, but editing should be done in PowerDesigner.
  • FilExt.com tip: This file is not a simple text file; it holds internal data for modeling that maintains the integrity of design relationships and object properties. For correct processing and viewing, use the proper tool provided by PowerDesigner.

    How do you open OOM files?

    You need a suitable software like PowerDesigner to open an OOM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your OOM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OOM file directly in the browser:.
