Description:
When you choose a medium to high complicated schema (I have one with 71 tables, ll of them based on InnoDb engine and with foreign keys, triggers and stored procedures) and use 'Reverse engineer database schema' you get all the objects crowded into the middle of default layout...

How to repeat:
Pick "Reverse engineer database schema" with a lots of tables (I have 71) almost all related and tick "Autoplace objects in new diagram" all the objects will be crowded on the center...

Suggested fix:
Auto resize the workspace before placing the objects and keep a minimum distance between objects.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

To repeat I used schema with 85 tables.
