Using the MetaData Export Wizard, you can export your diagrams in formats compatible with a wide-variety of industry-standard tools. For a current list of supported platforms and bridges available, see the files located at http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/er_studio/ or locally at:

C:\Program Files\IDERA\ERStudio Data Architect x.x\MetaIntegration\conf\MIRModelBridges.xml
