The title above is clearly a very basic question. My real question is how can I reduce the size of my shapes (I'm using Crow's Foot Database notion) without the padding messing with the alignment. I'm currently in the process of restructuring a database at my job and so I decided it would be best to have a visual presentation of how it will look like for my boss. This flowchart needs to be printable so all the entities and relations should fit on one page. Here's a what I have so far: enter image description here

  • Reduce the font size. Or adjust the screen / print scaling. – Yuck Nov 05 '13 at 23:50

  • Save yourself a whole heap of time and buy a decent data modelling tool, such as [DeZign for Databases](http://www.datanamic.com/dezign/), which allows you to reverse engineer your database and stop worrying about formatting a picture. :) I have no link with Datanamic other than being a satisfied customer. – Tony Nov 05 '13 at 23:57
  • Print scaling is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! – Brian Nov 06 '13 at 01:52

To solve this problem, I can simply use print scaling which is an option located under the file tab under print. Thank you for the quick responses!
