Automatic diagram layout

It would be nice to be able to do some automatic diagram layout. For the whole diagram or for selected area.

Have you seen our "Knowledge base" section about "Diagram layout"?

Is that what you're looking for?
No, I was looking for a method to make diagram look acceptable automatically.

For example, when I select 5 related tables, and then ask Vertabelo to layout them. It should place tables so that the graph would be possibly planar and with possibly short reference links. It could also follow Dead Crows Fly East principle.

This is certainly not a crucial feature. However, it would make working with reverse-engineered models easier.

OK, I know what you mean now. I'll leave the topic open so that others could upvote.

We need this feature, is there some workaround?
