Title

Issue printing an ERX diagram in Toad for Oracle
Description

When printing a large .erx diagram which does not fit inside the selected page size, some tables may have their content disappearing and all the symbols get pushed to the top left of the page. This occurs when "Fit to Page" is selected in the "Page Format" window, or when the "Enlarge" box contains a number different from 100 (the original page scale is changed).
Cause

This is caused by Toad for Oracle not scaling the entire diagram. The tables and relationships are scaled correctly, while the symbols are not and stay on the top left cell. Text in tables with primary keys also gets displaced and do not display when printing.
Resolution

WORKAROUND:
1) Click on the "Export to Graphic File" icon in the toolbar
2) Select the PNG File Type
3) Set the Scale to at least 300 (100 makes the image resolution too low in most cases for the text to be clearly readable when printing)
4) Go to the PNG tab and set pixel format to 32 bits
5) Click OK
6) Open the generated .png and print using desired page settings. The symbols on the diagram will stick in place now.
The generated image file should now have a higher resolution and should be readable when printing.

STATUS:

Waiting for fix in a future release of Toad for Oracle.
