Model allows you to add layers, notes, labels, images and shapes to help organize objects and embellish the diagram. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make your diagram visually attractive and informative.
First, open a model file in Navicat. In the model, you can click the ‘Auto Layout’ button to automatically arrange the objects in canvas.
Then, click the ‘New Layer’ icon and add a new layer to the diagram. You can group the related objects into one layer. Resize the layer to fit the objects. Then, click the ‘New Label’ icon to add a meaningful diagram title. You can add a company logo to your diagram. Simply click the ‘New Image’ icon and browse the image file. Also, you can add some shapes to the diagram. For example, lines, arrows, users, triggers, databases, etc.
Last, you can change the diagram notation according to your needs. Simply control-click anywhere on the canvas and choose ‘Diagram Notation’. Select the desired notation from the popup.
