1. Open MySQL Workbench (6.3 CE)
2. In "Navigator" select "Management"
3. Then select "Data Export" (Here select the table whose create script you wish to export)
4. In Drop down select "Dump Structure and Data"
5. Select checkbox "Include Create Schema"
6. Click the button "Start Export" Once export is complete it will display the location in which exported file is dumped in your system. Go to the location and open the exported file to find table creation script.

Right-click on the relevant table and choose either of:

• Send to SQL Editor > Create Statement

That seems to work for me.

Not sure if I fully understood your problem, but if it's just about creating export scripts, you should forward engineer to SQL script - Ctrl + Shift + G or File -> Export -> first option.
