This is not an issue with a few tables, but when I have a ton of tables on my dbml diagram, I have to pan and zoom to find the table I am looking for. Is there a way to search the dbml diagram so it automatically goes to the table I searched for?

If you go to the Designer View you can reach your tables through the usual Method name drop down or searching for the partial classes within the designer.cs. But that's pretty much it.

Thanks, I thought they would have made this better.

You can also use the dropdown in the properties pane to list all the objects in the dbml. Selecting one from the list jumps you to that object in the diagram.

Not perfect but at least its in alphabetical order!
