Can someone point me to explicit steps to take a drawing (a
flowchart--not a data model diagram) and synchronize it with a table
in a database?
I'd like to define and apply a custom property set, and then permit
someone to maintain the information through the database.
Periodically I'd like to synch the info contained in the DB with my
drawing.
I can export to a DB (no problem.) The issue as I see it is that any
time I attempt to correlate the two Visio asks me which Custom
Property will contain the identifier that I'll correlate with the PK
in the table.
Do I have to define such a property and then select and key in a value
for each shape?
Finally. I don't care whether or not I start with a drawing or a DB.
I just don't want to have to key info in *both* places every time I
have a change.
We have on-site Visio 2002, 2002 for Enterprise Architechts, and Visio
2003, so instructions for any of those with work.
Thanks very much for any help.
