MS Visio 2007: How do I get the cardinality to appear on both ends of a relationship?

19k views Asked by At

In Visio 2007, I can only seem to set the cardinality of the Parent-to-child relationship, but I want to set the Child-to-Parent as well. Is there a reason Visio won't let me do this? Do I need to create a separate relationship to achieve this? I'm using two Entity objects/shapes and a Relationship object/shape.

Note: I got the cardinality to appear on the diagram by going Database > Options >> Document and checking the Cardinality box.

Click Relationship Tab. You will see Name Display. Check "show verb phase". Choose "Foward text", "Inverse text" or both.. That depands on your wish.

Visio uses multiplicity/cardinality on both sides when completing a UML Model Diagram; double-clicking the connector will allow you to select the multiplicity/cardinality from the drop-down options for both directions. Using the Entity setup will just give you a check box that is relatively useless for what you want to do.
