refresh model for database model diagram

[Visio Data Modeler]

I mistakenly CUT a table from my diagram, rather than DELETING it. Now it's
gone from the list of tables in the model. I wanted to get it back, so I did
a Refresh Model from the Database menu, thinking the table would show up in
the list of differences. But the table doesn't show up in the list. So how
do I get that table (which really IS in the database), back into the model?
I don't want to do a complete Reverse Engineer, because then I'll have to
build the diagram all over again.

I understand you don’t want to reverse engineer the entire database but I
don’t think this will cause you to redo the drawing. Reverse engineer the
database model but only specify the missing table instead of all the other
tables, views and stored procedures. This should bring the table back into
the model and give you a choice to place the table on the drawing page or
have it show in the list.

I had the same problem and this solved it. Thank you!
