Hi Experts,

I would like to have entity relationship diagram ERD for Microsoft Dynamic AX 2012 tables (after AX 2012 and then try ERD for Dynamic 365 AX tables).

As per Microsoft instructions, ERD diagrams can be generated using Reverse Engineering tool that available in AX 2012 for selected tables. This tool generates ERX files and these files are to be opened using Microsoft Visio.

I tried to open ERX files in Microsoft Visio 2013 version, but there is no such option to import ERX files into Visio 2013 to generate ERD diagram.

Kindly suggest how do I generate ERD diagram for tables of AX 2012 (and Dynamic 365) and how to open ERD files, which version of Visio supports.

Thanks & Regards,

To import ERX file please refer documentation blog.pythian.com/disable-lock-escalation-in-sql-server

I'm not aware of any options to generate them in D365, so probably it is not available, however, schema has not changed too much, so 2012 should work for you.
