Exporting Metadata for all Models and Submodels
Go Up to Exporting the Data Model
Note: You need a separate license to access the MetaData Export bridges. See the About ER/Studio dialog for a list of the modules you are licensed to use.
Use the MetaData Export Wizard to 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 ER/Studio MetaWizard Import/Export Bridges.
