Changing Attribute colors (Data Modeling)
« on: May 20, 2009, 01:25:52 pm »
Does anyone know how to change one or more attributes color (e.g., red for primary key and blue for new attribute columns in data modeling?

I'm new to using this software and not sure if you can and how to make this change request.

Unfortunately there is no way to apply color formatting to attributes or operations at this time.  We suggest you submit a feature request by following the Feature Request link at the bottom of this page page so that this may be considered for addition in a future release.

Assuming Denis submits a feature request, it gets my vote.

Embarcadero ER/Studio has this capability and it is VERY useful.

A shapescript enhancement may be the way to go...

I support as much use of colour as possible in modelling.
