Drawing ER diagrams on a Mac
Drawing ER diagrams on a Mac is smooth and easy when you have a software tool well-suited for professional ERD drawing. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software for Mac extended with the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution is the best tool for drawing ER diagrams on a Mac.
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
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.
Example 3. Drawing ER Diagram
The ER diagrams you see on this page were created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the libraries from Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution. An experienced user spent 10-15 minutes creating each of these samples. You can find them all at ConceptDraw STORE.
Use the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software for quick, easy and effective drawing ER diagrams on a Mac.
All source documents are vector graphic documents. They are available for reviewing, modifying, or converting to a variety of formats (PDF file, MS PowerPoint, MS Visio, and many other graphic formats) from the ConceptDraw STORE. The Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution is available for all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users.

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._Win_Mac.png)
