ADO.Net Entity Data Model Designer: disable auto-layout?

ADO.Net Entity Data Model Designer (VS2010) makes me INSANE - I hope someone has dealt with this and knows how to stop it.

When a complex data model is initially built up, it is completely different that the Designer himself determines where the lines separating the associations are placed. However, in the end, I conclude the careful placement of these lines for readability.

But if I finish my layout, and then decide to, say, add a property to an existing entity, the constructor redefines my entire layout, or at least every line of links that leads to or from this object.

Is there a way to disable or otherwise bypass this auto-layout feature?
