How do I generate a dbml file?

In a Visual Studio file, A project contains a DBML file that, when opened, shows a very cool representation graphical of a database and all the interconnections between the tables.

I want that for another project for documentation purposes. The database already exists. So how do I get from the sql server database with all the key relationships and the proverbial whole nine yards to the cool graphic representation of ta DBML file as seen in visual studio.

I did some searching on the internet with several search engines and so far everything I see is working in the other direction such as "create database from DBML file? "

It seems to have something to do with LINQ but I have yet to find an explanation about this.
