Tips on Managing Relationship Lines in WS - Part IV
Hello,
This is the last part of the series about managing relationships in Toad Data Modeler.
MULTIPLE SELECTION
Situation A:
I make multiple selection of entities via SHIFT key. I want the relationship lines to be selected automatically too.
In the Objects menu, enable the Select Links Automatically option.
Situation B:
I select an entity, its self-relationship line is selected too, which I do not want.
Press SHIFT and click the self-relationship.
Situation C:
I need to make multiple selection of relationship lines.
Press SHIFT, hold it down and click the relationships.
MOVE
Situation A:
When I move an entity, I need to preserve position of the break points on the relationship line too.
1. Select the entity and also the relationship (SHIFT key).
2. Drag and drop the entity to the required position.
Situation B:
An entity covers the relationship name/break point. How can I get to them?
Click the relationship, the caption/break point will be highlighted. Feel free to move it to another position.
Situation C:
When I move an entity, I would like to see possible positions of its relationships.
In the Objects menu, enable the Recalculate on Move option.

Well, I hope you found some good tips here. Next time, I’ll provide you with some tips on how to search an entity in a workspace.
I look forward to your comments.
