Example 1. Drawing ER diagrams on a Mac

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from the Software Development Area for ConceptDraw Solution Park specially designed for professional ERD drawing gives you the possibility to design ER diagrams easily on your Mac. Use powerful drawing tools of this solution and 2 libraries with 45 predesigned vector objects:

  • ERD Chen's Notation Library
  • ERD Crow’s Foot Notation Library

ERD Libraries for Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution

Example 2. ERD Libraries for Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution

To quickly design the E-R Diagram for Mac, you can follow few simply steps:

  • drag desired objects from the libraries of Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution to your document,
  • connect the objects,
  • use the Action button menu in the upper right corner of the object to change it,
  • apply Line, Fill, Shadow and Text tools to format your diagram.

Another useful way of drawing in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is to use quick-start Chen ERD template or Crow's Foot ERD template, and change it according to your needs.

Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD - Software for Design Crows Foot ER Diagrams →

There are many ways to describe a database structure. One of the most usual is to draw an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using a Crow’s Foot notation to represent database elements. If you don’t want to draw it on paper, you should use an appropriate software. An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is used to show the structure of a business database. ERD represents data as objects (entities) that are connected with standard relationships symbols which Illustrate an association between entities. ERD, there is a wide range of ERD notations used by data bases architects for reflecting the relationships between the data entities. According to the crow’s foot notation relationships are drawn as single labeled lines designating a certain kinds of relationship. Crow foot notation is a most frequently used ERD standard, because of improved readability of diagrams, with a more accurate use of space on the page.Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD - Software for Design  <br>Crows Foot ER Diagrams *
