Marking what attributes show on an entity per diagram

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When I used PD many years ago, I remember being able to choose which attributes of a table were displayed, and that choice was specific to the diagram.  Currently, when I'm in the Entity Properties window and uncheck the displayed checkbox, and then go to that entity in another diagram, that attribute is unchecked.  Where do I go in PD for that functionality?

You can control the displayed attributes via the Tools ->Display Preferences dialog. Changes made in this window are applied to the current diagram. NOTE:If you have selected Table under teh Category section, you can click the Advanced button to access more Attribute choices.

Also, you can right-click on a symbol and select the 'Sub-objects Format' menu.

You can then define make choices for the individual symbol.

Anthony,

The sub-objects format was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
