Description:
We have an issue where we have a 'anal' Devloper who likes to see a data model on paper. We se pedn a lot of time aligning tables defining labels for foreign keys positioning link loines on foregion keys so the meaning is clear.

We then save the model

On re-opening the model Workbench draws lines and ppaces lables as it sees fit, its as if the changes are not saved.

BTW there could be a memory leak. If I try to print to Acrobat 5.1 I get an 'out of resources error'

How to repeat:
difficutl to provide a defintive howto:
I did a reverse engineer on an existing db, created some foreign keys, aligned labels over the line linking the tables, move a few lines to make it look prettier, saved the model
reopend the model and the lines and lables were moved to a diffent position

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with a newer version, 1.1.5 alpha (from GUI Tools 5.0r5), and inform about the results.

The fault is also present in 1.1.5 alpha

Just wondering if its a problem with the ATI Video Card used (an ATI Radeon 9600, using driver version 8.31.0.0 dated 11/10/2006). There were several problems reported earlier using this hardware, at least one of which was discounted becasue the developer assigned couldnt replicate it (although at least one other developer had).

Im not sure if its related, but when the drawing is printed the line redrawing seems to occur (shifting lines from what is on screen to the layout on opening)

Its also seesm odd that printing a blank A4 page creates a spool file of at least 60Mb.

try repositioning a FK line and or label, save the model, then re-open the model
