I would like to point out that there is an "Import.." menu option
under Design->Data Model. This isn't 100% what people are asking
for, but it might help some of you.
You can import .mom files which are archived versions of
NSManagedObjectModel (public API). So you can create a managed object
model using public API (NSEntityDescription, etc.), archive it to
a .mom file, and then import it in Xcode. The public API only deals
with the structural elements of the model, not the visual layout
which is private.

the core data modeler is a private module in Xcode. What kind of

I cannot speak for Horace, but I know what we have been hoping for.
I would like to be able to build models programatically from
outside xcode, then import them and have them be editable.
Ideally, I would like to see the models expressed as XML, but any
kind of API that gives me complete access to the model information
and the graphical information would do.
We have all of our data models, for dozens of clients and hundreds
of applications, stored in XML files, from which we generate
database schema, java classes, PHP CRUD apps, EOModels, and a bunch
of other stuff. If we could show these models in xcode, then our
users would have a convenient way of looking at, and perhaps
editing, these.
