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 (I don't use Microsoft's Entity Framework thus the dummy project).
Is there another way to create such diagrams natively within Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate?
