How to fix this error?

To insert the entity type into a data model, position it on the desired
data model in the graphic. Data models are represented graphically by
colored-in areas (frames). The name of the data model is given in the
upper left-hand corner of such an area.
If the desired data model does not yet exist, create it and then start
up the graphics. The data model is shown on the graphic as an empty
area (frame). You can insert the entity types into this.
