General features
New Enabled/Disabled Databases system

During installation of Toad Data Modeler all databases are now installed. In previous
versions users could choose which databases
should be installed in order
to save space.
The new system allows
users to enable/disable databases they use/don't use. By disabling
not used databases, users can increase the application performance.
This feature can be
configured in Settings Menu | Add/Remove Databases.
By using this tool users are able to generate Alter Script for one Entity only (useful when making
minor changes in large model). Accessible by right-clicking an Entity and choosing Change Script |
Run. Simple Change Script can be also saved as an Action Definition (allows users to save the
configuration and load it in the future).
Copy as Image
l
Users can now create an image of a part of a Model quickly in two ways:
1. Select objects that should be included in the image and press CTRL+C. Two records will be stored
in clipboard: image of the selection (can be pasted to graphic editor) and xml code of the objects
(can be pasted to word processor or to another part of application)
2. Go to menu Edit | Capture Image into Clipboard and select the area which should be copied as
image. Then paste the image to a graphic editor of your choice.
