To modify relationships in the Entity Relationship Designer

1. To add a point to a relationship:
   1. Right-click a relationship, click Edit, and then click Add Point.
   2. Grab the point, and then drag it to a new position on the canvas.

      You can modify the shape of a relationship. For example, you can add a right angle. This configuration helps to avoid overlapping lines in a complex diagram.

2. To hide the text labels of a relationship, right-click a relationship, click Edit, and then click Hide Text.

   You can hide the text label of a relationship, including the Relationship Name, End Name 1, and End Name 2.

3. To move the name of a relationship, right-click a relationship, click Edit, and then click Move Text Back or Move Text Forward.

   You can modify where Siebel Tools displays the text label for the name of a relationship. Note that you cannot modify the location of the text labels for the End Name 1 and End Name 2 properties.

4. To return text labels of a relationship to the default setting, right-click a relationship, click Edit, and then click Move Text to Default.
5. To display a connection point, right-click the canvas, and then click Connection Points.

   To hide connection points, choose Connection Points again to remove the check mark.

   A connection point is the point on an entity where the relationship connects. You can display or hide a connection point. For example, you can display connection points when you create an ERD, and then hide them when you print an ERD.
