Is there any way to print off relationships in the Ideablade Object mapping tool?

 
The reason I ask this is that my application looks at three different datasources depending on which model.dll I comile it with.  This creates some issues as I have to make sure that everything is in sync with all three.  i.e everything I change in the one Model.dll I have to change in the other two.
 
Actually what about printing a nice report that puts everything on it,  fields, properties, relations etc.
 
THanks

No.  There is there no way to print off relationships in the Ideablade Object mapping tool?

 
If this is really important to you, you might consider using a Reporting Tool such as DevEx XtraReports.

Can I get a little help on this one?  I can see the relationships in the Model.EntityRelationships and everything is nicely laid out in the Model.orm but is there an easy way to report on this or do I have to create an application to parse out the information and then report on it?
 
Thanks

There is no easy way to do this.
 
You may have to write your own custom application.

Open the ORM file in the IDE.  It will display the XML by default.  Right-click anywhere in the file and select "View Data Grid".  Select rdbRelation on the left.  Sort as needed.  Add a dash of paprika...and serve.
