title: Generating ERD diagrams within Visual Studio
body: <p>In order to create an ERD diagram for new projects I have been using Visual Studio's entity framework designer. Essentially I'm creating a "dummy project", adding entity framework via Nuget and diagramming away (<em>I don't use Microsoft's Entity Framework thus the dummy project</em>).</p>
  
  <p>Is there another way to create such diagrams natively within Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate?</p>
