Description:
When you export a diagram as PNG (for example) it uses the fixed height & width from the WB draft. In Db Designer 4, the size of the picture was dynamic, like when you have a small diagram, the picture was small etc.

I would like to see dynamic image sizes oriented at the model diagram.

How to repeat:
Export an PNG image from a small or large model diagram.

Suggested fix:
Try to find the most top, most left, most right and most bottom points of the model and use these as indicators for the image size.

Many thanks for writing a feature request.

Verified as described. PNG image is very small. I would say this is a bug. An image export with common size should be possible.

Changed to crop image in 5.1 and 5.2

this has been fixed and will be included in 5.1.18 and 5.2.3

An entry has been added to the 5.1.18 and 5.2.3 changelogs:

When a diagram was exported as PNG it used the height and width of the model as displayed in the EER Diagram. This resulted in the exported picture being too small or too large, rather than being scaled to a consistent size.
