erwin and data modeling

I have just started using erwin on a new database project that would be part
of our existing data warehouse.
Currently, I use sql scripts to create table, stored procs etc. and then I
update the erwin data model. This is not a good idea because I would rather
drive my data model from central location such as erwin tool. I tried to
drive data structure from the tool but its not working
What are some of the best practices to use erwin with regards to data
modeling? Are there any sites, white papers that talk about how to best use
erwin? Online help for erwin is not much useful.
I could not find any articles on google on erwin best practices etc.
Please let me know.
TIA...Didn;t you evaluate these kinds of things / support options prior to
selecting Erwin as the tool of choice? That would be a solid best practise
for a start.
