    Hello Entity Modeler Users

    A happy new year and a successful personal and business year to all of you!

    I would like to come back to the discussion about the (missing) diagram view in Entity Modeler. And thank to all who gave some help, even with software to use in conjunction with OmniGraffle.

    It seems I have to accept that there is noone in the development team having lust to implement such a view. I also of course accept that some or many developers don't use it or look at it as something superfluous.
    But we still need such a diagram view here (and yes we print it out as well - sorry for that old fashioned style .-) so I would like to ask again about the possibilities to create such a diagram. As far as I understood it (and there is always a chance I missed something as english is not my mother tongue) the given help was sort of quick help for now.

    My requirements would be:

    - Get somehow a diagram view out of the Entity Modeler (or within the Entity Modeler :-)) for example in OmniGraffle format
    - I am willing to arrange the entities manually the first time
    - At the second, third, ... export the entities should stay at the same place, so there is no need to position the entities at every export

    Am I dreaming?

    Is anybody willing to share her/his checklist how to accomplish the above?

    Thanks, Robert
