Data Modeling View

[Anonymous]

Every time I add a new table to my data model, when i go to the *new* data modeling view, the model layout is *reset* to a star/snow-flake schema.

I have had to manually rearrange my model layout more times than I can count. It is very time cosuming and frustrating.

I went to the help forum and read the suggestion to turn off to *autodetect relationships* etc, and other features, and I have, and it has not resolved this issue.

This issue has been arround for months, it appeats to be a BUG, it is not resolved/fixed and persists.

Please resolve this issue, so that we don't have to redo our layouts every single time there is a new table, with large models this becomes incredibly frsutrating.

@Anonymous,

I ran into the same issue several times. The walkaround I found was using modeling view feature (available from Nov Update of Power BI Desktop but you have to enable it in Options under Preview Feature), which you can use to create your layout by selecting specific tables. This one way you can preseve your specific layout when a new table is added.

I have tried this, but it doesnt work. I have made many different tabs in the new Model View feature, but every time I add a new table, and every time I download a model (we have multiple devs and do version control in PBIS), it scrambles the Model Views i have created.... i keep trying but the tabs disappear and scramble. I have turned off the auto detect features in the options as well.  in the older vesrsion, i do not recall this happening...
