First of all, let me congratulate you for the amazing software you develop and I’m quite glad that the company I work on adopted and made me use it. Was a nice surprise.
During the printing procedure of a physical data model, and having some attribute names quite long, I noticed that the table sizes on the printing do not match the ones I define when designing, making the names overwrite the column data type. This issue does not happen if exported to an image, just when print previewing or printing.
Any ideas for this problem? Am I doing something wrong?
First of all, thank you very much for your feedback. We’re happy you like our product.
To the problem: Unfortunately, we have failed to reproduce the problem. Could you please provide us with more details? Does it occur in a new model, or reversed model or model imported from TDM2?
How did you define the size of the entity? Could you please send us a screenshot? Did you use Recalculate Size option?
Attached to this reply there are two pictures, one is the exported picture of the data model and the other is the screenshot of the print preview (same happens when printing). The model is a new physical data model for MS SQL Server and the Recalculate Size is activated, and in design time it works, just seems to not be working when printing.

Unfortunately, we have no clue how this could happen. We have tried all available options and still can’t get the attribute name overwriting the data type.
It works fine for us - in official version 3.0.13.175 and also in current Beta.
Can you reproduce the problem? If so, please write us step by step what you did, what options you selected etc.
Hi,
I get the same result on TDM 3.0.13.175.
I created a new PM for Oracle 9i
Added an entity
Edit entity, add attribute, apply, edit attibute, change its name, apply (at this point the entity resizes), OK, OK
File>preview (name overlays data type)

What font do you use? (incl. size)
Arial regular 8. Also tried Arial 10 and Times New Roman 8 with the same effect.
Please try to set another printer in the Print dialog (or print to pdf) and then see the Preview. Does the problem persist?
PDFCreator produces the same effect
What are your Page Format settings?
A4, fit to page = clear, Enlarge = 100, portrait, margins L 10, R 10, T 15 B 15 mm
changes these has same effect
Note: HTML report ER diagram shows the entity correctly as does Export to Graphic File
I’ve tested it, hard to count how many times… So have our testers. Still failing to reproduce the problem.
There must be a rub somewhere. In any case, we don’t give up.
Of course, I tested it with the same settings as you, Malcolm. See attached an example of my result.
Note: Entity1 - Align option is selected. Entity2 - Align option is clear.
As soon as we come to anything new, I’ll write again. Thanks.
Regards,
Vladka

I’ve tested it with the default settings as well as customized ones and it happens all the time. Tested with a few more physical printers configuration and pdf printers (PDFCreator, PdfFactory, Acrobat 8 Pro) and still no correct print.
Note: just tested with Align setting switched off and it displays the right way when previewing, but if I activate the Align setting again and then preview, same error happens. Having it not aligned is not an option since it makes the diagram almost impossible to read…
I’ve tested it with the default settings as well as customized ones and still nothing :-/
I’ve used Win 2000 without SP4 and with SP4 CZ and ENG,Win XP SP2 CZ and EN,Vista Business 64-bit EN,HP LJ 1300 physically and some others HP(Canon,Epson,…) virtually,for PDF PDFCreator 0.9.0 and PDFredirect v2,TDM3 official,patch,latest Beta and internal builds.
Still running fine…here.
I’m testing it again and again,but there must be something special in your configuration,which is not evident for first look or I’m burned-out and can’t see something “easy” in this case.
Sorry for that,but I hope that we can find it together.
I usually use 1280 x 1024. this shows the problem.
I tried 1024 x 768. The name no longer overlaps the data type in Preview. There is a bigger gap between the end of the name and the start of the data type on the Preview than in the model.
I couldn’t try other setting as my monitor won’t go higher and I (apparently) don’t have sufficient privilege to choose other values.
Information on your monitor - standard, LCD, what size.
Laptop LCD, 15"
Max and min screen resolution you can set.
Max: 1400x1050
Min: 800x600
Native (currently in use): 1400x1050
If you use TDM on two monitors.
No.
Have also tried to use some of the other resolutions and in some the names do not overlay the data types, but entities get on top of the other. Seems like you have some problems regarding different screen resolutions.
