Synchronise data model w/o losing formatting
« on: March 09, 2004, 06:27:59 am »
I have imported a data base schema and have layed out the tables in the data model. I have since made some changes to the underlying data structure and wish to synchronise my model. Every time I try and do this I lose the arrangement of the tables I spent ages setting up. Is there anyway of synchronising to a database without re-laying out the whole model all over again?

Thanks in advance
Ian

Go to Tools | Options | Generation... and uncheck Auto Layout Diagram on Import.

Great thanks for that. I have one more question which is that if I have only changed one table and so only want to synchronise that I seem to lose all the relationships in the model after importing. Do I have to import all the tables every time I synchronise?

Thanks
Ian

Yes - all tables participating in a relationship must be imported for full synchronization.
