Thanks for the reply Arnaud, Yes. I’ve tried the SVG exports posted on the forum and they run into issues, at least for me. Perhaps my structure is too large? 225 tables.
My results with Vincent’s code have overlapped tables and relation lines which don’t line up correctly. Miyako’s code requires XSLT, which is now deprecated, and I didn’t want to dive into modifying it to use Alexander’s code ended with a number of black tables. My effort to stitch together screenshots involves 108 1920x1080 pictures, so even with Snagit’s panorama feature it takes hours of manual work. Perhaps I should have used that time to write code instead. I guess that printing an ERD is not common among 4D developers.
