Neither did Erwin, but by installing a FILE: postscript driver I managed to get erwin to create EPS files, which I included into Frame Maker documents.

I find Erwin is the tool of choice for me simply because it allows easy cross RDBMS migration of schemas and incremental on-line modifications.

Of course, if you are an Oracle tools shop (we are not) then Dev2K may be the best choice, if only because of its "integration" with the toolset.

As always YMMV. :-)
