RE: website blocked by proxy

Hi,

I think it isn't caused by some tags or keywords. There is nothing on this site what could evoke the impression that it is a gaming portal.

However, it may be caused by list of restricted IP addresses defined in your company's proxy. My web hosting provider probably shared this IP address among several web sites and one of them could really offer games. I don't know whether it is possible, but you can try to ask your administrator to add this domain (softwareideas.net) as an exception to your proxy filter.

I will contact my web hosting provider to find out how much it would cost to have non-shared IP for this website.

Anyway thank you for your notice.

style

Hi. It's very inconvenient for me that style "belongs" to project, not to SIM application. It make me change setting for each new project.

Default SIM looks childish, not serious like erwin.

(sorry for bad english)

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: style

It seems you didn understand me. I cant figure out how to solve my problem. I want to create my own style: font, size, border etc, call it myStyle (for example. And i want to keep it in program, not in project. in order to use myStyle in every new project i create. my own, not solid, simple, etc, that actually isnt style and anyway dont work too. Sorry for critic, you need UX specialist, because really difficult to understand how it works.

I wish i knew english better to explain you more clearly.

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: style

P.S mistake. solid, elegant - are style, but they all are default, but it's wanted to create user's.

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: style

Hello,

there is really a problem with applying of default styles, which I didn't notice, because it didn't work only in some specific cases. Now, I identified it and I will release the fix soon. (Here is a hot fix: http://www.softwareideas.net/SoftwareIdeasModeler.5.70HF.zip)

I will improve work with user style sets in the next version. This is a very old part of application, which need some improvements. However, this usability flaws don't restrict you in creation of user style sets.

You can add your own user style this way:

1) Click on menu Project / Style Sets / Edit

2) Adjust your style

3) Click on Save and save your style here:

C:\Program Files\SoftwareIdeasModeler\Data\StyleSets

Normally it is not possible to save to this path because of Windows restriction, you need to run SIM as administrator or you can save your style set elsewhere and then copy it manually to C:\Program Files\SoftwareIdeasModeler\Data\StyleSets

As I said, this is not very comfortable, but I will improve it.

general features and capabilities

hell - where should i go to learn about the inetracitve documentation and aprsing features? i am not sure if this tool is appropriate for what we are tyring to do...index content into contexts and link to it based on the context. thanks you

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 24 June 2012 12:47:42

RE: general features and capabilities

Hello,

this new feature is not yet described in user guide (which will be updated soon). Interactive documentation is hyperlinked documentation in HTML format which is generated from diagrams of open project. Interactive documentation can be generated using menu Tools/Generate Interactive Documentation.

Source Code parsing can be used in two ways:

From sidebar Parser - choose language (C#, VB.NET or Java), paste source code into textbox, click on Parse, parsed classes will appear below in group Results. When you double click on a class in this list, it will be added to current diagram.

Second way you can use source code parsing is using menu Tools/Reverse Engineering/Source Code. In shown dialog, there you have to choose language of source code (C#, VB.NET or Java), add files, you want to parse and click on OK. Classes will be parsed from these files.

Code generation

If I create a class in the class diagram and try to add a contructor them in the code generation I can't see it. I was not able to make it. Do you know how to add constructor to a class?

Another thing I couldn't change the visibility of a class it is always private or...?

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 20 June 2012 12:29:37

RE: Code generation

You are right, there is a problem with constructor, I will fix it soon in the next release.

The visibility of a class can be changed using menu Element/Modifiers.

Best unadvertised feature...

The best unadvertised feature of SIM, which I just discovered, has to be (in my opinion) that, in addition to the great UML support, it can do generic flowchart diagrams! At last, I can stop using Visio at my day job altogether!! (I still have to see how the XMI export/import works between SIM and Visio, but usually people just want the images that I can upload to our wiki for documentation.)

generate diagram

Hi Dusan,

I really helped by your tool, but I have a question. Can ideas modeler generate diagram from use case to activity diagram and to generate sequence diagram from acticity diagram (like EA that used iconix agile plugin to make it happen)? because If it's really hard to keep consistency of each diagram ( use case, activity and sequence ) if the sistem is big.

Thank you.

RE: generate diagram

Hi,

these features haven't yet been implemented in SIM. However, I can add it in one of next versions.
