In 5 mins I was up and running after install. I took my mysqldump of my schema
mysqldump -d --no-add-drop-tables
Clicked File->Import->Reverse Engineer MySQL Script
Tada a picture of my schema.
Pictures are always nice to represent what your conveying to individuals who may not be as experienced with the db structure as yourself. Just for this feature alone I recommend using Work Bench.
