Modelling Tool Help

Hello,

For management that doesn't have the software I do, I've been using a PDF postscript utility to print the model and give it to them. However, I have to fit the model for the specific page (which is really small, and you have to zoom in), or you have to view it on multiple pages. Well multiple pages can be a pain, because the table you are looking at is on page 1, but the relationships are on page 12, 22, or 50, for example. So I was looking for a tool that is cheap enough to implement that we could look at the entire model on one "surface" (not necessary to print), that the model could be viewed in.

Thanks,

BrianHow about visio?|||Yes, we have that too, and I did find the Meta Information Model Bridge that converts to different formats, but we are looking for a general viewer without the data modelling need. It may just have to be Visio.

Thanks,

Mistakenly removed dtproperties, now I can find my diagram

I am currently testing SQL Server 2000 Evaluation version.

I created a diagram with the diagraming tool, but in the process I mistakenly deleted the system table 'dtproperties'. I have a backup of the database, but the last time I restored it, I lost my diagram (and had to do it again)

What I've done to try to get it back:
I have another database with the old table schema, and I tried to enter all the values it that old database's dtproperties into the recent db's dtproperties, but that didnt' work especially since I didn't know how to copy the lvalue column.

How can I restore my diagram?I believe no chance to retrieve the diagram as you're using EEE.
