This would be extremely useful and allow for a cleaner look (at first glance) then be able to 'expand' to see the full extent of the table....

Bumping this thread (and upvoting). This feature determines whether or not my team would be able to leverage Lucid long-term for documenting ERDs.

Upvoting this as well. Aside from creating process flowcharts, ERDs are the main thing I used Lucid for, and this would make the overall review of an ERD so much cleaner.
