DB Visual ARCHITECT 5.0 Service Pack 1 Release Notes

Release Date: July 17, 2009

Supporting completion of Entity

The context based diagram only show portion of entities and relationships which are related to the context. Modeler can show one entity in two diagrams (shared model) and changes of the entities will be visualized in two diagrams. Visual Paradigm introduce new completion support for shared model usage.

Splitting diagram view vertically and horizontally

Sometimes, we want to compare the northern part of the diagram with the southern part of the diagram and skip the middle part. In VP Suite 4.0 SP1, there is split diagram function. Modeler can split the diagram vertically or horizontally.

Generating MS Word 2007 report

In VP Suite 4.0 SP1, Visual Paradigm enhanced the MS Word report generation to support generate report in Word 2007 format and speed up the report generation process. In a very large project, the report generation speed improved more then 50%.

Supporting Layer in Published Project

In VP Suite 4.0 SP1, the published project also support layer. The diagram viewer can show/hide layer(s) using browser. Just like modeler show/hide layer(s) in VP Suite.
