Zooming, Displaying, and Snapping the Grid

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

To zoom, display, and snap the grid

1. To zoom in the Entity Relationship Designer, right-click the canvas, click Zoom, and then click one of the following menu items:
   • Zoom In.
   • 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 click Show Grid.

   To hide the grid, click 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 click Snap to Grid.

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