Different ERD on the same project

General Questions/Discussions
1

Im pretty much new to the visual paradigm, and im currently utilizing the function of reverse database, in order to generate ERD from the existing database. So i open up a new project, create a few ERD, then go to tools-ORM then reverse database to generate the different ERD, but everytime the an ERD is generated, it always ends up on the same ERD page1, and even i have already switched to another diagram page, the new generated ERD still appears on the same page1. How am i going to create different ERD on different pages under the same project?

Hi Ppp83,

Thanks for your post. When you reverse database, you are able to select the result of reversing database, as shown as the attached image. For more details of the results, please refer to the following link:
http://resources.visual-paradigm.com/index.php/dbm-tut/42-tut/126-db-reverse.html

You can select “Popup entities tree” so that you can drag the reversed table to which ERD you like. If there is any further inquiry, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Well, the problem is on my “Database to Data Model GUI”, i cant seem to find the “pop-up entities tree”, there’s not even a “result” selection for me to make. Is that my version is different from the one which was shown?

Hi Ppp83,

Thanks for replying. This enhancement is introduced since VP Suite 3.4 (VP-UML 6.4), may I know which version are you using? You can find this from the About dialog.

Best regards,
