RE: Awesome tool!

Thank you!

SIM can generate PHP5 scripts.

SIM can be run under Linux - you have to install Mono (what is equivalent for .NET on Linux) - details here: http://www.softwareideas.net/a/29/Installation

Smooher Entity Model, Styles, ...

Hallo,

I tried your program for the first time in the weekend. I like it! Now I'm exploring it, to see if it could fit my modeling needs (at the moment I prefer it to the cumbersome giants as MS Visio, Toad and Oracle Datamodeler). Why? mainly because it is fast and immediate! (that means less work time (and at the beginning also less learning time) --> more productivity --> more gold !).

A few questions:

1) is there a way to NOT show the ": NOT NULL" when adding attributes to an Entity, in the Entity Relationship diagram ? (it is to create a model of my DB where there are ONLY the names for each table, for printing & analyzing purposes).

2) Syles, request: a toolbar with colored buttons that, with only one click, can change the selected table/arrow color (the background or, better, the margin, or even the title background). Or a key combination to do the same. At the moment (with my old modeling programs) I find it faster to color my printed models with StabiloBoss markers...

3) is it possible to select many objects (for example 7 tables) and change the style of all these, without going to properties/style for EACH one of them ?

-) I love the Fast Editor to the right side

4) Could it be possible to have, in the Class Diagram, one more tool: Structure. As class, but with only Attributes (No operations). Or ... is there a way to do it with the already given tools?

Thanks & Bye!

RE: Smooher Entity Model, Styles, ...

Hello,

thank you for your positive words.

1) Currently it is possible when you uncheck the option in menu Element/Show Nullability. In one of further versions (not later than version 5), I will add a support for setting this option as default for all elements.

2) Requested toolbar will be added in version 5.0.

3) A quick tutorial is here: http://www.softwareideas.net/a/61/How-to-style-multiple-elements-with-the-same-style

4) I will add it soon (most likely this week).

RE:

Hi,

there is not such setting, thank you for suggestion, I will add it.

EDIT: Added in version 4.88.

Feature suggestions

1) close tab pages (of open files/diagrams...) by middle-mouse-button (wheel) instead of needing to click on X

2) copy selected elements as image to clipboard

for example to easily paste into e-mails

Maybe ctrl+shift+c ?

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 30 January 2011 20:43:31

RE: Feature suggestions

1) Added in version 4.87.

2) This will be added in version 5.0.

Spanish Language

Great software!

How can i help you to translate this software to the spanish language? have i to create a simple xml file?

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 11 January 2011 21:30:21

RE: Spanish Language

Thank you!

The XML file with all strings to translated is placed in <SoftwareIdeasModelerRoot>\Data\Languages\en\Language.xml

Just translate all attribute values of 'item' elements (except for value of 'key' attribute). Then send me the translated file to softwareideas @ softwareideas . net

P.S. Authors of translations are rewarded with lifelong commercial-use license for Software Ideas Modeler.

Please integrate it with SharpDevelop.

It will became a "VStudio killer"!

RE: antonio@grail.com

I hope it will be done this year. If it isn't much work, there is a chance it will be introduced with version 5.

excellent program

Hi,

i would be grateful if my favorite tool generating PHP code with PHPdoc comments.

Are commercial license have version 4 and later (exercise ver. 5, ver. 6 etc.)?

PS sorry, my english is very badly ;)

RE: excellent program

Hi,

I am adding this suggestion to my to-do list.

Software Ideas Modeler is from version 4 payed for commercial use. I introduced this payment model to get necessary finance for development.

Wrapping Text for Line Transitions in State Machi

I was wondering if it would be possible to have the ability to wrap the text for the Pre Conditions, Operations, and Post Conditions in a line transition for a state machine diagram. I have line transitions that have a lot of operations and because it is limited to a single line that keeps expanding it can take up a lot of space on the diagram. So making the text wrap would allow me to format everything better.

Also would it be possible to have the ability to format text (bold, underline) in a comment box?

Great work on this program!

Thanks.
