    Hi WishAskedSooner 

    All the settings for the model's page view are the settings that are down in the right corner.

    As you mentioned, you can reset the view, which will zoom out / fit to page on the tables, or simply shrink it down so you can more easily drag the table around with your mouse.

    Hi, WishAskedSooner 

    Instead of relying on the default layout, you can create custom layouts that contain only a subset of the tables that are currently in use. This can be done by selecting the "+" button next to the All Tables tab at the bottom of the Power BI Desktop window. You can then drag the necessary tables into this new diagram for a more organized view.

    When you add a new table to the model, right-click the table and select Add Related Table. This feature helps to automatically ingest related tables, potentially reducing the distance required to drag a new table in the layout. You can check the following link:
