Forward engineering in mysql work bench not working

I have created a EER diagram in mysql work bench but I am not able to forward engineer the diagram into a db and tables based on the schema and diagram I have created. Nothing happens when I select the forward engineer menu.

Reverse engineering works though. I am sitting on a mac os Sierra machine.

Thanks

This is still a known, unresolved issue as of MySQL Workbench 6.3.9 build 10690321 CE.

My workaround is to go to File > Export > Forward Engineer SQL CREATE script and then execute the creation script using one of the options under the "Scripting" menu (or in the terminal).

In the bug report, there is also a suggested workaround from Matt Whitney that uses the "Synchronize Model" feature:

I am having the same issue on Mac OS X 10.11.6. As a partial workaround I've been able to use the "Synchronize Model" feature for all of my changes so far on a database that has already been created. Perhaps creating a blank DB and using the Synchronize Model would work for those wanting similar functionality to the "Forward Engineer".
