The ER/Studio interface is divided into several tabbed windows that let you navigate and customize your workspace.
ER/Studio includes context-sensitive toolbars, menus, intuitive icons, keyboard commands, and other resources to
help you work efficiently. ER/Studio's user interface has a standard Windows look and feel.
For a detailed description of the internal data structure of the ER/Studio application and the Repository, you can look

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\
Embarcadero\ERStudio_X.X\Sample Models
