Diagramming in BI Documenter

We released a major version of BI Documenter this month after a coding slog-fest through most of August.

One of the major new features in version 1.5 is Drag and Drop Diagramming.

Our approach to this is that every object in the solution is diagrammable, and not just the ERM style table relationships that you are probably used to.

So while you can do this:

You can also do this: 

By moving beyond traditional ERM diagrams to diagrams that incorporate non-traditional components (such as SSIS ETL components) our hope is that we can help our users further bridge the gap between technical, business and operational users.

Or as Dave Winer put it:

Users and developers partying together.

The diagramming component is fairly autonomous as well, so if you need a quick diagram to pop into a specification document you can do that without having to regenerate a new set of documentation.

Happy diagramming!
