Changing a Relationship into an Associative Entity

You can transform a relationship between two entities into an associative entity linked by two relationships, and then attach entity attributes to the associative entity that you could not attach to the relationship.

  1. Right-click a relationship symbol and select Change to Entity.
    The original relationship is split in two and an associative entity is created between the two new relationships, taking the name and code of the original relationship.
  2. Open the property sheet of the associative entity or one of the new relationships to modify their properties as appropriate.
