    Hi,

    Is there any way that i can save the diagram generated from Enterprise Manager -> SQL Server -> Databases -> Diagram to a file?

    Any inputs are appreciated.

    Can't do! You will have to use a Data Modelling tool such as Microsoft Visio 2002 Enterprise Architect.

    Kindest Regards,

    I tend to use print screen and paste into a Word doc

    We use Acrobat.  You can print the diagram out through acrobat and use acrobat's 'save as' to get the diagram into a more document friendly format (e.g. PNG).

    This has the advantage that you can use the Acrobat tools to format the diagram before exporting (e.g. rotate the diagram to fit better in a printed document, etc.).  Also quality of the final diagram is better than can be achieved with prt scr.

    We've been here before! (in oneof the Yukon forums I think).

    This was the answer I gave then...

    For a cheap but very workable soultion, try installing one of the freeware/shareware pdf printer drivers (I use CutePDF, http://www.acrosoftware.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp). Then just print the diagram to a file, and you have resizable, zoomable, etc diagram that you can share with others via the free Acrobat reader. Problem solved!

    I have been able to upload the Enterprise Diagram into Visio with ease.  You can save your file in any format you choose, i. e., .jpeg, html, etc.
