Description:
I am working in a new diagram, than I realise I need some tables from an other DB so I am reverseenieer and I obtain a new Mysql model and a new diagram.

I go in the new diagram and select with shift the tables I need than I paste them in the first diagram.
Later i am delting unneded model but that is deleting the tables in the first diagram also...

if I am copying the tables in the model to the first mode all is fine so maybe the behavior is correct.

Verified as described.

I am not sure I understand the issue.

If I create 2 diagrams, copy objects from the 1st to the 2nd and delete the 1st, the objects in the 2nd diagram remain intact. If by "deleting model" you mean you are deleting the original Schema/Database, then that is the expected behaviour, since the objects you've pasted into the 2nd diagram are probably in the original Schema as well. Diagrams are just graphical representations of your database objects, if you delete the database objects themselves, they will be gone from the model. 

What you want to do is to cut/paste the objects from the imported Schema into the other schema. You can do that by selecting the object, Cut them and then go to the other Schema and Paste them.

On a separate note, apparently this is a common operation, so I'll file a feature request for directly moving selected database objects into another schema.
