How do I enlarge an EER Diagram in MySQL Workbench?

Question

I am working on a moderately complex schema in MySQL Workbench, and the single page of the EER diagram is now full up. Does anyone know how to enlarge it to two or more page

Answer 1

If option "Diagram Properties and Size" is disabled (grayed out) You can try to run MysqlWorkbench with sudo

sudo /usr/bin/mysql-workbench

I am not good at linux, there should be some miss-configuration leading to this. So I'am only saying that this resolved the problem for me.
