How can I add text inside my ellipse on my activity diagram.

I have experienced several crashes that I have narrowed down to issues in the documentation tab. I primarily use data flow diagrams and sometimes use multi-line descriptions in the documentation. I have had it crash with the following errors:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

FYI, I am running version 5.81.4757.1497

Your hotfix made things much better. I was having frequent errors and haven't seen any since applying the fix. Thank you for the quick response.

The activity parameter node name wraps after 26 characters, leaving the last character on a new line which looks weird.

Is there a way to change the size of the text field or is this a small bug?

Hi, I've got some real problem here. I developed a project with two class diagrams of most higher importance and saved it before I shot down the Program ( Software Ideas Modeler Ultimate 5.80.4738.31068 running on 30 days trial ). Now when I am trying to Open the project, error pops up. Please respond ASAP.

Details:

System.ArgumentException: Element o tym samym kluczu został już dodany.

w System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)

I get the following error:

Tested another (older and not created with version 5.70) project which opened OK.

Is diagram export to PDF supposed to be such a resource hog? I exported a diagram with some 97 classes in it and the memory usage hit 1.507GB in Task Manager. The SIM file was roughly 2.2MB in size.

Otherwise, fantastic update to 5.8!

It should also be noted that I had to zoom in to 1200% in the PDF file before I was able to read anything. It's almost like it's trying to jam everything onto one Letter size sheet of paper.

When I update to 6 when you release it will it overwrite the templates I made or will those still stay?

why if I make a simple class like "Class1" and add an Integer attribute. If I generate code to any language (e.g. c#) it says Integer instead of int. Is Integer meant to be generic and then translated later into int or do I need to just use "int" instead of the built in "Integer" and then have autofill take care of selecting it?

PS: sorry if this post is a duplicate, I didn't see the "please wait" at the top of the page
