Step 12: Cross-database dependencies
You can now see all the objects, both local and external, which use the Customers table. Notice that some of these have antennae indicating that they, in turn, have connections to objects still not in the diagram. Each of these is a candidate which may be impacted by a change to our original table. To find out exactly which objects are affected, you can view their SQL scripts and follow the connections between objects.
In order to get a clean graph like the one above, tidy up the diagram by selecting Reapply Layout from the View menu or the tool bar.
