Change Color and Font Settings for an Entity, Table, Attribute, Column or View

Use the Color and Fonts editor to do the following:

   Change the font, font style, size, and effects (strikeout and underline) for one or more selected components of an entity or table, such as: entity name, entity attributes, primary keys, role names, alternate keys, and inversion entries.

   Change the font, font style, size, and effects (strikeout and underline) for selected components of a view column.

   Apply font and color settings to attribute categories such as: non-inherited primary keys, inherited primary keys, non-inherited non-keys, inherited non-keys, primary key index, unique indexes, non-unique indexes, attachments, triggers, and data security.

   Change the background and outline color of entities, tables and views.

1.  In the Data Model Window, right-click the object you want to change or the object containing the object you want to change.

2.  For entities, tables, columns, and attributes, choose Entity Color and Font Settings > Entity/Attributes Colors and Fonts.

For views and view columns, choose View Color and Font Settings > View/View Columns Colors and Fonts.

3.  In the Colors and Fonts editor make the changes desired.

Note:     You can apply the same changes to multiple attributes or columns by pressing and holding CTRL while clicking the objects.

4.  To apply color and font setting changes to all occurrences of the selected object in the model, select Apply to all submodels; otherwise, the changes will affect only the occurrence of the entity selected.

5.  Use the preview area to preview your changes and then click OK to implement the changes.
