Multi-Section Documentation, Improved Diagram Editing and Source Code Generation - Software Ideas Modeler 13.30
The new version brings almost fifty improvements. It includes multi-section documentation, better source code generation, more container layout options, and improved search.
The most prominent feature is the multi-section documentation. It allows you to separate public documentation from private notes and name the various parts of the documentation. The new options were introduced for source code generation. The direction of the element flow in the container layout can be changed using the new layout setting. Elements can be stacked from bottom to top, from right to left, etc. The search feature works better for element documentation. A window with documentation with highlighted found text is displayed when the element documentation contains the searched text.
