I know that data entities are treated differently in the USRPROPS file, but I am hoping someone has a work around for the Associative Entity symbol depiction. I don't want the diamond shape for these entities. They should all be simple rounded corner boxes - nothing special. Has anyone done this?

Do you mean with the depiction of a symbol. Here are some ways to do it. rename symbol "User 2" to "relates_to" Or use a symbol that has the right shape and define it by the Associative Entity Symbol. Or load a new symbol with the Encyclopedia Manager and then define it by the Associative Entity Symbol. Symbol "my associative entity" |

Yes, that is the idea. The USRPROPS guide says that you cannot assign anything to the Entity diagram, so I am assuming you can create the symbol with the depiction, but not assign it to the diagram. |

Guess so, have you tested your assumption? I'm interested to know the answer.
We cannot update the entity diagram but we can create a custom diagram using the USRPROPS and incorporate the Entity symbols within it including our own symbols. This could overcome the problem of attaching the symbol to an extant diagram schema that does not accept symbol attachments. |
