Save the 'actual' layout

[ac2780]

Can you please add an option to save the current layout status. I mean the software works good but I move the tables here and there to have a easier visualization of my db schema and I would like a function like save as deafault layout. I have some others Idea like table header colors and grouping in area, but they seems to be already on the roadmap

Hey @ac2780,
Thank you! You have reported other bugs as well. That's very helpful!😄

Liam ERD doesn't have the feature to save settings yet, We're working on how to implement this now. I would like to know your use case.

1. Do you currently use features like the 'Tidy Up' button in Toolbar or the table hiding feature? If so, how well do they meet your needs?
2. What specific scenarios or reasons prompt you to manually rearrange the tables in your diagram?

   Your questions are very relevant to my situation. I aim to represent my database clearly so that it's easy to understand table connections during development. For DB handling I use differents tools, and I am ok with them.
   I find myself manually rearranging the diagrams because my database consists of approximately 120 tables. Many of these tables are logically grouped together, and I rearrange them to form local groups within the layout for better clarity. To be honest, if there were an option to group tables and apply the 'Tidy Up' function within these groups, I believe it would be ideal.
   Here a simple draw of my idea:

If the grouping is feasible, then I would also create an addtional a "Fit To Zoom Group" which work on the actual 'best centered' group in the layout.

Wha is important is that you keep you interface fluent. I have tried also some other solution based on React Flow but your solutions seems to be the only one remaining fluent with big structured DB

Even without the grouping, just having the position saved will be an immense improvement.
I have a 200+ tables that are linked in multiple ways.
It looks like a spider web (the rest of the graph looks the same).

yeah this feature would improve our UX a ton so can't wait to see the updates on this hopefully soon and i for real amazing work overall from all of the LIAM team 🚀✨
