Message from: Matt Birchall Issue has returned and F5 doesn't clear it. "Clear Diagonal Crossed Background" works temporarily but then F5 reinstates the crossed background. Where is the documentation for this "feature"? What does the crossing indicate? What does F5 do? Presumably this refreshes the drawing but is this feature documented anywhere - it isn't a menu option as far as I can see. Does anyone use the toad ERD diagramming feature or do people actually use Erwin or similar? _______________________________________ Historical Messages Author: Matt Birchall Date: Mon Nov 14 06:12:44 PST 2011 Issue has returned and F5 doesn't clear it.

I also found the clear option on the right click. I hadn't changed the connection so presumably this was a glitch somehow. This also seems to be an undocumented feature? __ Author: Vaclav Frolik Date: Wed Jun 29 03:54:24 PDT 2011 Matt, table in ERD is shown with shaded cross hatching when no information about the table is found under active connection. Basically that means that cross shaded tables can appear in ERD in case you delete table from your database or when you change connection. I guess you didn't delete the table from your database. Please try to press F5 to refresh the diagram. If you want to remove the cross hatching, right click table name in treeview and choose " Clear Diagonal Crossed Backround " from popup menu. Regadrs, Vaclav __ Author: Matt Birchall Date: Tue Jun 28 09:46:32 PDT 2011 I am documenting an Oracle 10.2 database in TOAD 10.6.1.3 (no add-ons) via Database => Report => ER Diagram. I have added a few tables and materialised views to the diagram and it has automatically added some FK relationships. So far so good. I then added a new table to the diagram and one of the tables added earlier becomes shaded with cross hatching. What does this mean - is something invalid or incompatible? I can't find any reference to shading or cross hatching anywhere in the Toad help files. If I delete the new table then the shading disappears and everything appears normal. __ _______________________________________
