RE: Where I can Find?

Hi,

new style sets can be created using built-in editor (Project>Style Set>Edit). I think I could create a section New Style Sets on this web site with more styles for download.

RE: SequenceDiagram

Hello,

current version supports only creation of recursive messages (when you select call action and click on free space in lifeline).

New version - 4.70, will bring support for adding self messages and improved work with recursive messages. You can expect it in few days.

EDIT: Version 4.70 was released, it improves editing of sequence diagrams.

Object Diagram

Hi Dušan, thanks for brilliant solution. I have lame question to do with object diagram: how can I specify class from which object is created?

I can see no option in object properties and the name ends up with : as it should but then I do do not know how to add class

RE: Object Diagram

Hi,

you can specify the class for object this way:

1) Double-click on object (or click on Properties in context menu)

2) Switch to Object tab

3) Write name of class into the Classifier field (or click on '...' and select the class)

Congratulations!

I posted a bug yesterday. It was fixed today. I am impressed.

And not only with your fast rate of development and your attention to the user's reactions, but also with your application. It is very useful, usable and even stylish. I like it!

Now, if I could add an actor lifeline in a sequence diagram...

Anyway, you have my sincere congratulations. Keep up the good work!

RE: Congratulations!

Thank you, it's very encouraging to read it.

I will add actor lifelines in the next version (I guess that it will be released within one week.)

Generating source code

Really enjoying your program. I am teaching a graduate course that involved entity relationship diagrams, and this program could be very helpful for my students.

I like the feature "generate course code," but I must not be using it precisely as intended. When I generate source code (SQL DDL), I get the SQL for the entities, but nothing for the attributes. Is there some additional selection I need to make n order to output SQL for these elements?

Thanks so much,

Chuck Wyatt

Ideas

Thanks for the template class solution.

But I have some "software idea":

1) I would be glad if the template parameters would show up on the parameter sheet of classes.

2) I would be glad too if when I select more then one objects on a diagram I would be able to change their style in same time.

RE: Ideas

I appreciate these ideas and I will definitely realize them.

2) It is already possible, but I will add another option how to do it (via context menu), in the next version.

It can be done now this way:

- create new style (Style tab > Add Style)

- select elements

- double-click on the item of the created style (or click on Apply)

- all selected elements will have the same style

Template class

Congratulation! It's seems to very useful product.

I have a question:

How can I represent template classes on class diagrams?

RE: Template class

Thanks.

Template classes are supported from version 4.50. You can add template parameters using key shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-T or from menu Element>Add>Template Parameter.

Composite structure diagram

The collaboration symbol should have two styles. One showing the name in the center of the cicrle and another one more usefull for showing the parts inside. This should have a dividing horizontal line, with dashes. The top part reasonably small for just the collaboration name, and the lower part for laying out the parts and associations.

RE: Composite structure diagram

The second notation has been added in version 4.50. Collaboration switch into this style after adding some elements to it.
