I am creating a visual representation of my existing database with MySQL Workbench and I am able to synchronize the models with the "Database -> Synchronize Model..." menu. However, every time I synchronize (update) my model, I have to recreate the EER Diagram and rearrange all the tables. Is there a way to update or synchronize the EER Diagram as well? Thanks.

From the MySQL Workbench 5.2 window, select Database -> Synchronize model which will allow you to synchronize the model (EER diagram) with the database (you need to create a saved connection) for it.
(To view all the relationships in the sakila database, see Figure 9.35, “The sakila Database EER Diagram”.) Click the Properties tab of the panel on the lower left and then click one of the tables on the canvas. This action displays the properties of the table in the Properties window, as the next figure shows.
To start the wizard, open a model and select Database and then Synchronize With Any Source from the main menu. The steps are similar to the Synchronize Model wizard, but with additional options to create SQL script files, use SQL script files, or both.
Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EER) diagrams are created by double-clicking Add Diagram in the Model Editor. You may create any number of EER diagrams just as you may create any number of physical schemas (databases). Each EER diagram opens in a tab below the toolbar.
