Software Ideas Modeler 15.40 – Smarter Text-Based Diagram Generation and Refined User Experience

Enhanced Diagram Generation from Text Definitions

Diagram generation from text definitions has been significantly improved, making it easier to create diagrams directly from textual descriptions. The generation engine now provides better automatic detection of diagram types and syntax, allowing smoother workflows when working with different text-based diagram formats.

Improved PlantUML Support

Generation of diagrams using PlantUML syntax has been refined to provide better compatibility, more reliable parsing, and improved accuracy of generated diagrams. This makes importing and creating diagrams from PlantUML definitions faster and more dependable.

New Mermaid Syntax Support

Software Ideas Modeler now supports diagram generation using Mermaid syntax. Combined with automatic syntax and diagram type detection, this enables seamless creation of diagrams from lightweight textual definitions commonly used in Markdown documentation, developer workflows, and online documentation platforms.
