i wonder if there is gui tools for creating a graphical map for the relationship between models/objects (doctrine) or tables (mysql)?

it would be better than draw it manually.

i´ve already have the models/objects and tables created.

Try MySQL Workbench. It has a screen for generating model diagrams from an SQL script or from a live database.

For completeness sake, I will add a recommendation of the Power Architect for the following reasons:

  • platform and DB-independent, i.e. you get returns on your investment in learning how to use it with every database you use
  • it can reverse engineer an existing DB
  • it can manage differences between the model and the DB (generate scripts, update the DB directly etc.)
  • the model editor is geared towards efficiency: sensible key bindings for important model elements, mostly flawless tab navigation...
  • is FOSS
