Useful improvements in version 7.40

Highlights

View element references

Software Ideas Modeler shows an icon with plus for elements which are used multiple times (and shared their model). This multiple usage icon is a clickable button now. If you click on it 'Element References' window will be shown. It contains a list with all occurrences of an element (with coordinates of its position) grouped by parent diagrams. If you double click on an item in the list you will be navigated to the diagram with this item.

View associated diagrams

An icon with arrow is displayed for elements which have associated diagrams. This icon is also clickable now. If you click on it 'Associated Diagrams' window will be shown. It contains thumbnails of all diagrams associated to the element. If you double click on the diagram thumbnail, you will be navigated to it.

Faster copying

If you want to make a copy of an element. Just drag it with right mouse button, press CTRL (for independent copy) or SHIFT (for shared model copy) and drop it. A copy of the dragged element will be added to the diagram on dropped position.

Grid menu

You can set grid spacing much faster now. If you want to set spacing to 10, 15, 20 or 25, you don't need to show Options dialog (Tools/Options), just click on small arrow on the right of grid icon in standard bar and choose the spacing in displayed menu.

Editing object classifier

A classifier of an object can be set without the Properties dialog. Just double-click on the object name, type colon and choose classifier from the displayed drop down list.

Sequence message selection

Version 7.40 improves also selection and sizing grips of sequence message. Unnecessary grips were removed.
