I looked up how to use TikZ to make an ERD using crow's foot notation and found this.
When I c/p the code provided there, there is no problems at all,but when the preamble is pasted into mine and the document code is pasted in the document section I get a long list of errors for each line that uses \draw.
Most of which refers to wrong use of units. After fixing these errors I end up with the preamble in the bottom. However I still get an "Undefined control sequence"-error that I can't seem to fix. Further more even though I get errors my final .pdf.document to be compiled just fine, which I find very weird.
Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?
EDIT:
Marijn, pointed out that I forgot \makeatletter just after % Crowsfoot notation. Adding that and reversing the changes i made fixed the issue. An explaination why it is needed can be found here.
