Creating a single table

The diagram below shows the UML palette expanded and the table object selected

Drag & drop table shape onto canvas

Double-click the table to edit the details

Replace default text

Overwrite the default table name and attribute names with the ones you want to use. Add or remove the key labels as necessary.

Add attribute above or below current and remove current attribute

Watch out for where the cursor ends up.

Resize table shape using handles

The table shape does not expand automatically when you add more attributes. You can resize the table shape in edit mode; if you try to resize it in presentation mode, you will get a connector line instead.
