Nick, Inspiration doesn't even have the diagram elements, does it? It has no ORM library that I am aware of. Do you just use it to draw the shapes (kind of like using Word shapes)?

To the original question, I don't think there is any free software that can create ORM diagrams, apart from the decrepit VisioModeler.

Nicholas,

Could you expand on your comment? VisioModeler can accept fact types like "Student (name) studies/is studied by Subject (Scode)" and draw the diagram complete with constraints. Is this what Inspiration does, or do you mean that it offers the full range of diagram elements? Any insights would be welcome.

Inspiration is brilliant for ORM. There is a free 30 day trial but I would suggest paying a small fee for an annual site license eventually.

I use VisioModeler extensively for ORM, but it doesn't work under
Vista or Windows 7.
Anyone found any 'free' solutions that are as good as VisioModeler?

I can get it working under ViirtualXP, but our tech guys don't allow
that across our LAN because of security concerns.

I don't like the idea of purchasing a site licence for Visio
Enterprise Architect, just to get the VisioModeler functions.

Cheers
