Print a diagram

You may wish to print just the Entity Relationship diagram or hierarchical schema views, possibly on A3 or Tabloid format.

 

To do so, choose the menu option File > Print Diagram

 

Users may wish to create pictures for different diagrams created with the application.  They can be generated in either PDF, PNG, or SVG format, and for different paper layouts.

 

 

With the controls just below the picture, the user may zoom in, zoom out, fit the diagram to the page, or toggle between business names and technical names

 

 

Known issue on Linux Debian when generating the images in PDF format

If you get a "write EPIPE" error:

 "stack": "Error: write EPIPE\n    at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete [as oncomplete] (internal/stream_base_commons.js:83:16)",

 

It may be due to an open issue documented here and here.

 

As a workaround, you should execute the following command:

export OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl/

 

which will allow the generation of images in PDF format.
