Hi! I dropped by for a very silly question actually, still haven't managed to grab a decent help resource for UML/SIM.

But then I read a couple of comment pages, and now I can restrain myself from just staying: astonishing. Is this project really one-guy? The amount of dedication you put into it is just amazing...

Guess my hunt for a good UML software is over, donation incoming. Thanks a lot for your time!

RE:

Hi,

yes, software, web page and also help is developed and created only by me.

I try to constantly add new topics and tutorials in help - it will be better and better.

Thank you for your support. I am glad to see that Software Ideas Modeler is useful for people and the development of this tool was not waste of time.

Exporting image without attributes and operations

Hi,

Is there a way to export an image without the attributes and operations shown in the class diagram? This will make building conceptual models a lot easier! :)

Thanks in advance!

RE: Exporting image without attributes and operati

Hi,

yes, it is possible. If you want to do it for all classes in the diagram:

1) Select a class.

2) Press CTRL+T - all classes will be selected.

3) Uncheck Show Attributes and Show Operations in the Element menu.

4) Finally, you can export the diagram.

Attributes and operation can be again displayed in the same way (select all and check Show Attributes and Show Operations) or you can just use undo function.

Multiple diagrams

Wow, what a good piece of software!

Only one thing I was wondering; is it possible to start e.g. lifelines from classes created in a class diagram? I kind of miss the dependencies between different diagrams, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Multiple diagrams

Thanks.

Lifelines cannot be automatically created from classes (good idea for the next version), but they can be linked with the classes.

1. From lifeline context menu choose Properties

2. Choose Lifeline tab

3. Write the name of existing class in text box Classifier (it will be automatically referenced to the existing class with this name) or you can select the class in the dialog when you click on button with ellipsis.

RE: Multiple diagrams

Since I am interested in sequence diagrams; is it possible to make the self message durate a longer time? Now it has a fixed length and I cannot make it any longer.

RE: RE: Multiple diagrams

In the current version, it is not possible. It will be improved in the next version.

EDIT: It is improved in version 4.81.

hi

I am having difficulty working out how to reverse engineer a c# project. Am I right in assuming this will produce a uml diagram from c# source code? I pointed your software at the assembly file within the project but that didn't work. Any help is appreciated

regards

RE:

I tried with 4.72. Created a project with model to get the Tools/Reverse engineering/ .net framework enabled. Then selected DrSvgLibrary.dll from SIM folder. Made a class diagram. Using the right Studio version possibly needed, I had problems with VS 2010 too. Waiting for next version of SIM.

where I can find the duration messege in the sequence diagram?

RE:

Duration messages were not supported in version 4.72. Try new version 4.80 - it adds this type of messages.

UML2 Support

Hello, does your tool support uml2?

Where can I find the components of uml2?

Thanks for answering.

RE: UML2 Support

Hello,

yes, it does.

Only one version of UML is implemented - all UML diagrams and their elements are from UML 2.

If you find UML element Component it's present in Component diagram.

RE: Hello

Hello,

unfortunately the program doesn't offer this option. I will add it in the next version.

EDIT: List of recent projects can be cleared from version 4.80.

Hey I'm really impressed with the application.

I would love to see javascript available in the list for generating code. Also, it would be cool if packages could be marked with a preferred language for generating code (so you don't have to select elements).

If you like, I would be happy to help you out with javascript language code generation - I am well studied in javascript and writing it in an object-oriented manner. Also my C# chops are pretty good.

You can check out my blog about OO and Javascript to see samples of the kind of stub coding I would suggest for generating from uml: http://blog.reinpetersen.com/2008/10/interface-in-javascript.html

Thanks for considering my crazy ideas
