The current 10.2 release of ArcGIS Diagrammer does not work with ArcGIS Desktop 10.3 and will be the final Diagrammer release according to the link here.ArcGIS Diagrmmer functionality is needed for ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.

With the loss of XRay for use with ArcGIS Pro and the introduction of some of the new data modeling extensions like Utility Network Extension. The lack of tooling in ArcGIS to at least create/export a reference document of the data model for people outside the GIS/ICT space to validate is quite frustrating.
Esri have done an excelent job in ArcGIS Pro for updateing schema using the Design dialogs and tools, but exporting the information to an HTML document or Visio would be a fanstatic Add-in to have (something like the old ArcGIS Diagrammer)
Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems is an option, but a little hard to justify the costs (of both licensing and ICT support) just to export the data model to a human readable form.
Hi Dan,
We are using a program called Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. A company out of Australia. The license level is a professional edition but single use. I am the only one in our organization that deals with schema changes in our enterprise geodatabases. It works well, but has a bit of a learning curve. For a data dictionary, it has a report writer that works well if you tweak the code a bit. (provides too much info about your data) I still use Visio to diagram the data structure though.
Having the same issue. What tool did you purchase for printing out the data dictionary?
Yes! Diagrammer functions need to be updated to 10.4.x Valuable tool for any GDB admin!!
Agree 100%! X-Ray is just ok. Diagrammer has better graphics and easier-to-understand workflows for modifying gdb schema. Please support to 10.4 and beyond!
I usually have to export out the existing schema as an XML workspace document, then edit the schema with XML Notepad. This works for simple changes, like spelling mistakes, or order changes, but not for complicated modifications. We have purchased outside software to help us print our data dictionary, and copy paste in to Visio to get the diagrams organized.
It would be nice if this was built into an ESRI product, instead of purchasing outside software to do it.
Add my vote for your support of ArcGIS Diagrammer in future versions of ArcGIS. It is a great tool that really facilitates GDB design and documentation!I realize the charting library is no longer available, but this tool is a solid component for your desktop environment.Aprpeciate it!Sam
It would be really great to have a way to dynamically create a diagram of a geodatabase data model. Currently we can use tools like GDB XRay, GDB Diagrammer and Visio to create a graphic data model diagram but if any changes need to be made to the geodatabase you have to start all over again. So the idea is to build this functionality into Desktop to enable interactive edits to the geodatabase that would be reflected in the data model diagram.
Add a utility or tool to create, edit and analyze the geodatabase schema. The ArcGIS Diagrammer available from ArcScripts is an example of such a utility. Schema is presented as editable graphics in an environment familiar to users of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Essentially ArcGIS diagrammer is a visual editor for ESRI’s Xml Workspace Document which are created by ArcCatalog, the management application in the ArcGIS Desktop product suite.
