There is no direct way to convert model to a different ORM framework.

A possible solution: run Update Database From Model in your EF Core model, then basing on the created database run Create Model Wizard for EF6 model.

We have Telerik Models that are 300-600 tables large with associations that are multiples of those numbers. The broad strokes of Tables/Columns, along with the Associations that are never put into the database, make the associations unable to convert.

Can you not provide a "Save As" to bring these associations across to other framework models?

The time savings and use would be worth the upgrade alone for us.

Can you please consider this?

You are converting Telerik Model to EF Core Model, aren't you? Please describe your scenario and vote for the migration functionality at https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/386 ... -migration.

Please do consider... your tool is what bridges these large models to the EF Core.
And this is a small one Image

Our roadmap includes the tool for converting Telerik Data Access Model to EF Core Model. As of right now, it is hard to provide any possible time frames.
On the other hand, please rest assured that as soon as we have any update on the process we'll let you know immediately.
