Once your model is activated you are ready to add diagram layouts.

On first use, you will not have any diagram layouts created, so you need to create your first diagram layout.

To create a diagram layout, click on the “Add a Layout Icon” a popup will appear asking you to fill the following information:

Option	Description
Layout Name	The name of your automatic diagram template (diagram layout). This name will help you to find your template layout
Diagram Template	The erwin EA/BP Desktop Modeler template which is used by the Diagram Designer to generate a diagram. The elements in the Palette of the diagram template are used for the default size of the shapes. If the Object Type is not in the template palette, you will not be able to choose it in the creation of your diagram layout.
Output type	There are 2 options for the output type of your diagram : Group one or more objects on a diagram This option allows you to put all the selected primary objects on the same diagram. This option is used for heat map or big pictures diagrams. Generate on diagram for each base object This option allows you to create one diagram for each base object you will choose later.
