Author Upgrading Database Diagrams to 2005
Kevin

2006-03-14, 1:23 pm

I upgraded from Sql Server 2K to 2005 and in the process upgraded the
database diagrams. When I view the upgraded database diagram the font size
and row height of the tables have increased so the bottom 25% of the rows
don't display.

Is there a way to control the font size of the tables so I don't have to
edit the entire 100 table diagram.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

You can modify the font size of the database diagrams by following these
instructions.
1. From SQL Server Management Studio, from the toolbar, click Tools and
then click Options.
2. From the Options page, expand Environment, and then select Fonts and
Colors.
3. From Show Settings for:, select Table and Database Designers
4. Adjust the font style and size as needed.

The change in font/size will be applied to any existing diagrams and any new
diagrams you create. That is, you can't set different font sizes for
individual diagrams.

I apologize for not including this information in Books Online. It appears
the topic that contained this information was inadvertently left out. I'll
add this topic in the next update of Books Online (currently scheduled for
April 2006).

Regards,
