Hi Benjamin,
For large model, the only solution I found useful is to create schemas using Omni Graffle. I usually create multiple schemas for a single model/project, one for each module like finance, operations, CRM, etc... Trying to document more than 12-15 entities in a single schema does not lead to effective documentation. If an entity is present in multiple schema, I usually define it only once and present only it's name some attributes on others where it is referenced.
Automated tools do not deal well with complex model with circular and multi path between entities. They also tend to produce too detailed diagrams, you does not need the FK attributes of the relationship is visible with a line for example...
I also usually create my schemas before the EOModel and create the migration code from the model.
