Navicat Data Modeler 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 Data Modeler. In the model, you can click the ‘Auto Layout’ button to automatically arrange the objects in canvas. Now, click the ‘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. And then, click the ‘Label’ icon to add a meaningful diagram title. You can also add a company logo to your diagram. Simply click the ‘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. Control-click anywhere on the canvas and choose ‘Diagram Notation’. Select the desired notation from the pop-up menu.
