Release Date: September 4, 2006
Starting from DB-VA 3.2 Service Pack 2, you can create a new diagram in Diagram Tree with the 'New Diagram' dialog box. And the 'New Model' dialog box is introduced for enhancement of model creation. You can also manipulate the model for their specific context in Model Tree or Class Repository Tree.
Normally the specification of relationship contains a set of values and those values are similar when creating a new relationship. In order to reduce those user actions for setting similar values of relationship, Duplicate Relationship is introduced. With Duplicate Relationship, all values within relationship's specification, such as Stereotypes and Tagged Values, are reused.
Package Header was a feature for creating a package to hold models within a diagram in a fast and direct way. With Package Header, you just need to type in the package name inside the header field of the diagram, a package model will then be created, and the models inside the diagram will be included in the package automatically.

We also support generating views into database from the diagrams.
