Add existing table to SQL Server database diagrams in SSMS
At any point we have the option to add an existing table or create a new table in SQL Server database diagrams. For example we may add the existing table HumanResources.Shift to our database diagram in the following way. Right click anywhere in the SSMS database diagram editor and choose option "Add Table"
A frame with a list of accessible user tables will appear and you may choose the required table or tables. Close the tables frame and you will have the selected tables in the diagram editor. As in our case we choose HumanResources.Shift.
