From class to entity

Hello, how can i convert a class from a class diagram into a entity in the entity relationship diagram??

Hi mackleiln,

Thanks for your post. Please refer to the following documentation and flash demo about how to synchronizing a class diagram to an entity diagram:

http://resource.visual-paradigm.com/tips_and_tricks/db_visual_architect/using_mouse_gesture_to_synchronize_class_diagrams_and_erd.html
http://www.visual-paradigm.com/product/vpuml/demos/dbmodeling/cdtoerd.jsp

Remark: Beside the two ways mentioned in the flash demo above, you can also perform synchronization by selecting Tools > Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) > Synchronize to Entity Relationship Diagram

If there are any further inquiries, please feel free to contact me again.

THANKS, but, are these features available for VP for UML professional???

Hello mackleiln,

Thanks for replying. Yes, the synchronization between class and entity is supported from Professional Edition or above of VP-UML & SDE, as well as all edition of DB-VA. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

The thing is , in the tutorial, they make right click in the class diagram and it shows a sync to ERD option, in my program there is no such option…

Hi mackleiln,

Thanks for your screenshots, but still we cannot repeat your problem. Would you mind attaching another screenshot of the About dialog box (Help > About Visual-Paradigm for UML) of your VP-UML? Thanks in advance!

Hi mackleiln,

Thanks for the screenshot. As your VP-UML is older than the one I used to trying repeat your problem, I think your problem would be solved with the build I used. Could you please download the patch of VP-UML 5.0 from the following link and see if the option is available?

If there is any problem, please let me know.
