Include Objects from Another Diagram

If you have diagrams for specific sections of a model, you can include objects from one diagram into another.

To include objects from another diagram

  1. Click Diagrams on the Diagram menu.

    The ER Diagram Editor opens.

  2. Click the Members tab.

    The Members tab opens.

  3. Click the Include all objects contained in another diagram (Remove object from another diagram icon) icon.

    The ER Diagram Editor appears.

  4. From the Include all objects contained in drop-down list, select the Diagram from which you want to include the objects, and click OK.

    All the objects in the diagram except shapes, appear in the Included Objects section of the Members tab.

    Note: The Include all objects contained in another diagram option includes only model objects and not drawing objects.

    To remove the objects included from another diagram, click the Remove all objects contained in another diagram icon (Include object from another diagram icon).

    All the objects that are part of another diagram are removed from the Included Objects section and displayed in the Available Objects section.

  5. Click Close.

    The selected diagram objects are added to the current diagram in the same position as in the original diagram. If the diagram had objects before you used this option, you may find the new objects overlap with the existing ones.
