Zooming, Displaying the Grid, or Snapping to the Grid in the Entity Relationship Designer

You can zoom, display the grid, or snap to the grid in the Entity Relationship Designer.

To zoom, display the grid, or snap to the grid in the Entity Relationship Designer

1. To zoom in the Entity Relationship Designer, right-click the canvas, choose Zoom, and then do one of the following menu items:
   • Choose Zoom In.
   • Choose Zoom Out.
   • Choose a percentage.

     You can choose a default zoom amount or enter a percentage to zoom in and out of an ERD.

2. To display the grid, right-click the canvas, and then choose Show Grid.

   To hide the grid, choose Show Grid again, which removes the check mark.

   The grid helps you align entities and relationships in an ERD. It is useful to display the grid when you work in the canvas and then hide it when you print the ERD.

3. To turn on the Snap to Grid feature, right-click the canvas, and then choose Snap to Grid.

   The Snap to Grid feature helps you keep entities and relationships aligned while you define your ERD.
