Description:
Currently I have a 'view' in my DB, but I don't need it to be visually displayed in the model. It's possible to drag an object from the catalog to the model to make it visible. But it is NOT possible to drag an object out of the model or otherwise hide it. Once it's there, it cannot be removed (or so it seems).

How to repeat:
See description.

Suggested fix:
Make objects hidable by either dragging objects out of the model page or by adding an option to the right-click context menu.

What about "Delete" in context menu? If you delete object on the diagram, you get a dialog box asking "Should correspondent database objects be deleted with the figures?". Just say "No", and it will be removed from the diagram, but will stay in catalog.

Am I missing something?

You got a point there. It's just that 'delete' sounds so permanent...

But thanks, that'll work for me.
Closed this issue.
