Description:
When you synchronize your model, any hidden foreign key lines get set back to visible.

How to repeat:
Steps to reproduce:

1) Design an EER database diagram.
2) Double click on any foreign key line, and set the "Visibility Settings" to "Draw Split" or "Hide".
3) Synchronize your model.  

Now you'll see all of the hidden foreign keys re-emerge as "Fully Visible"

A resolution to this would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested fix:
Ensure the visibility settings on foreign keys are maintained when synchronizing.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.11 changelog:

In an EER diagram, if the model was synchronized with a live database, then any foreign key relationship lines that were set to hidden became visible.
