Crow's Foot Notation

Question

I am trying to create an Entity Relationship Diagram using Crow's Foot Database Notation. When I create a new database there are no shapes to use (Entity, Attribute, Primary Key Attribute, ...ect). Is there some way to get all of the shapes to create an Entity Relationship Diagram?

Answer 1

Sorry for the delay. Life got in the way.

The crows foot template is part of the Pro skew, but you can make do, with the standard version of Visio because most of the notation is boxes.

The actual crows foot is a line end so go to

Line in Shapes Style

Line Options

End Arrow Type - it should be #27

Probably set End Arrow Size to Jumbo.

Answer 2

I have Microsoft Visio Standard 2019
