Class diagram error

When I reopen an existing model, the all connections looses betwen classes and relations. So when I move the classes the relations doesn't move together with them.

RE: Class diagram error

I think that the root cause of a problem lies in the past - when multiple elements were copied between diagrams or when they were grouped and ungrouped. From version 4.93, this problem should not occur anymore. Unfortunately, this fix cannot affect the saved files.

If the problem you described is caused by something else, please, let me know - if you could also repeat the steps, which lead to it, and send it to me, you will help me a lot.

Additionally I have find out:

Language of start page doesn't change until reopening of start page.

Layout problems

Hi Dušan,

If I add breakpoints to the relations and use auto layouts, then the breakpoints stay in their position. Also the layouts can produce quite interesting results:) But anyway, great program!

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 20 March 2011 23:33:22

RE: Layout problems

Hi,

this bug will be fixed in version 4.92, which I'll release within two days.

Thank you.

Can't write letter "ć".

I'm required to create documentation in Polish for my classes. To enter "ć" on Polish keyboard layout you press Right Alt + c but this combo creates some kind of filter.

It happens when I try to edit documentation in documentation tab on right side of diagram editor. When I'm editing documentation in properties window everything is ok.

Saigon 14 March 2011 9:22:26

RE: Can't write letter "ć".

It is because, Windows handle Alt+Ctrl and RAlt in the same way.

In past keyborad send the same key code for both Alt's, so MS make this workaround.

So, when You use PL-programmer keyboard, You can't use any Alt+Ctrl shortcut's.

I don't know how to change shortcuts in SIM (Is it possible for users?), but this is the reason.

Best regards

RE: RE: Can't write letter "ć".

I could add support for change of shortcut keys in version 5.0. It is quite big implementation change. However, I can add an option for disabling all shortcut keys in the next release.

saigon 14 March 2011 12:22:23

RE: RE: RE: Can't write letter "ć".

I think the best way is disabling only shortcust for Alt+Ctrl+Key combination.

For Polish only:

Alt+Ctlr+A

Alt+Ctlr+C

Alt+Ctlr+E

Alt+Ctlr+L

Alt+Ctlr+N

Alt+Ctlr+O

Alt+Ctlr+S

Alt+Ctlr+X

Alt+Ctlr+Z

btw: Dusan, You don't have the same problem with Slovak diacritical signs?

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 14 March 2011 12:50:35

RE: RE: RE: RE: Can't write letter "ć".

Slovak keyboard has letter with diacritics instead of numbers and numbers can be typed using SHIFT+number or using numeric keypad. There is also possibility to use second key from '0' (diacritics key ´ / ˇ). Then this diacritic is used for next pressed key. So there is no problem with Slovak keyboard.

I will improve shortcut keys handling to fix usability problems with Polish keyboard soon.
