MySQL Workbench - All diagrams in EER Model update when working in single diagram

Question

I've created an EER Model for a project and I have a couple diagrams inside the model.
My problem is that I have tables with the same name in all the diagrams and when I update one table, all with the same name suffer the same alterations.

How can I avoid this behavior and have a diagram independant from the others?

Answer 1

With MySQL Workbench it is possible to place the same table on more than one diagram. All these "instances" (we call them figures) represent the same db object. Hence changing that table it will appear changed on all diagrams. It's the same object after all.
