General Board / Re: Smart alignment?

« on: March 07, 2017, 03:48:44 pm »

Simon, I regularly use the Align functions etc.

However, I've just spent half an hour trying to get "Smart Placement" to do something, with and without "Snap to Grid" enabled, and I haven't been able to catch it doing anything at all.

I think it may need a bit more support in the help text (if it is functioning).

General Board / Re: How do I specify a set of values for run states?

Set run state is a useful feature, so I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to achieve this with that feature.

I think I'm going to have to do this with tagged values
along these lines:

Detail:
Type=Enum;
Values=A,B,C,D;
Default=B;

General Board / How do I specify a set of values for run states?

« on: January 31, 2017, 11:14:22 am »

Hi people,

I'm pulling my hair out, because I believe that I've achieved this before (maybe I was dreaming).

I'm trying to create something as a base class (object, entity, whatever) which has a set of attributes, many of which are to be defined as enumerated lists.

The end product is something that I can drag onto diagrams, as an instance, and then set the "run state" for each of the attributes, by selecting values from the enumerated list associated with that attribute.

These things represent "nodes" in "workflows" so my final intention is to link these instances to each other with sequence flows.

Looks like the template editor is working in inches.

I can't find a setting to change the units of measure.

Erm...

This is not how to submit a bug report.

See the link below (under the heading "Support" click on the "Report a bug" link)

This is a user discussion forum.

Me too.

Most annoyingly, I type homophones, i.e. words that sound the same, are spelled correctly (so spell checkers miss them) but are the wrong word for the sentence.

Yes. You can use it forever. However, after one [year] you can no longer download updates, unless you pay for the subscription for another year.

q.

I do like your (pronounced yow-er) as a concept though. It could represent any time period between an hour and a year.

Yep, I'll fix that within the your.

Bugs and Issues / Set run state doesn't recognise enumerated lists?

« on: April 27, 2016, 01:40:51 pm »

Hi team,

Is this a bug or are my expectations too high?

Version 12.1.1224

Steps to reproduce.

1. Create a node
2. Create an enumerated list
3. Add attributes to the node
4. Classify one of the attributes as the enumerated list
5. Place an instance of the node onto a diagram (Component/deployment whatever)
6. Set the run state of the attributes. (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Expected behaviour:
The attribute which has been classified as an enumerated list should present a drop down which contains the attributes from the enumeration.

Actual behaviour:
The value field in the Features/Set run state dialog is just a blank field that accepts anything.

Am I expecting too much, or is this a bug.

Bugs and Issues / Re: RTF document generation: list of tables/figures

« on: April 07, 2016, 03:11:26 pm »

I think I've achieved that by applying styles in the RTF template, then allowed word to generate the table of figures by relying on the style.

I haven't used RTFs for a long time now, and am struggling to find an example.

No offence intended qwerty, but whenever I see the term `guru' I remember that quote.
