I’d like to use an external data modeling tool to display my 4D structure file. Ultimately I want to print the 4D Structure. I’ve tried all the 4D components and scripts and they all seem to have shortcomings. Right now I’m in the middle of a tedious screenshot, export, panoramic merge in SnagIt process which is fragile. I’m losing interest in that process and am hoping for something that is repeatable.
To that end, I’m investigating whether there is a way to use the XML file that 4D creates via the EXPORT STRUCTURE command in a non-4D tool (like SQL Server Management Studio, MySQL Workbench etc) to create an Entity Relationship Diagram which I can manipulate and print. I have a 4D method which generates a SQL DDL, but it doesn’t include relations. So now I’m looking at the XML structure file as a possibility. I’ve tried to work with it in XMLSpy, but I don’t know enough about XSD, XSL, DTD and XML to make much headway. Has anyone else done this?
