Editing Class Attributes and operations

From ditectly without opening the properties page:

Only about the first 23 characters are displayed for editing

From within the properties page:

Selecting part of an operation name and selecting RightMouseClick Copy then paste into another field pastes the entire record rather than the selected text

If a function and its parameters are longer than the parameters are longer than 23 characters then the remainder is pushed into the type field and the original type filed is overwritten

RE: Editing Class Attributes and operations

In fact, the problem is not the number of characters, but the name of class, which cannot contain the colon symbol. Currently I work on new version that should solve also this issue. The new version will have the full and real support of operation parameters. I expect that this version should be completed during next week.

RE: Editing Class Attributes and operations

Hi,

Just to clarify, the problem was not with the name of the clas, but with the names of attributes and operations within the class. These can initially be made as long as you like but as soon as you click on the class again they are truncated to 23 chars with about 12 of the chars being transferred to the "Type" field and the rest thrown away.

RE: RE: Editing Class Attributes and operations

Thanks for the clarification.

In my response, I wanted to write "the name of operation" instead of "the name of class". It was so probably because I wrote it late at night :)

RE: Installation doesn't work

Hi,

probably you haven't installed .NET Framework 3.5. You can download it here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/0/3/703455ee-a747-4cc8-bd3e-98a615c3aedb/dotNetFx35setup.exe

Software Ideas Modeler does not require any installation (except for installation of .NET Framework in older versions of Windows). Just unzip the file and run the SoftwareIdeasModeler.exe.

Export to PDF...

Export to PDF throws a NonImplementedException in Version 2.0.3625.28206:

System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.

RE: Serialisation Error on copying Drawing.Text El

Fixed in version 2.50.

RE: Serialisation Error on copying Drawing.Text El

After a few more tries it seems related to the custom styles. They don't seem to work properly on any object (Changes don't display).

Also, any object with a custom style errors out when attempting to copy it, not only text objects.

RE: RE: Serialisation Error on copying Drawing.Tex
