Composition symbol for selection is wrong in latest version.

Open swgmike opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

I installed the latest version of the software. The symbol for the solid color arrow doesnt exist in UML. It should be a solid colored diamond for composition.

Also the symbols for initial state and final state are missing.

There should have been no change in the last version:

init and final state are part of the Activity palette

lt=<<<<- is a diamond arrow lt=<<<<<- is a filled diamond arrow

type lt= and press ctrl+space to see all possible arrows

Update: Thanks still new to the tool. However, when the tool is opened, there is a palette called UML Common Elements shown in the upper right window. It is here I was looking for the composition (solid diamond), but only the aggregate non-solid diamond is shown. Moreover, I searched the internet to get the definition for the solid arrow (triangle) shown above the non-solid diamond and didn't find a definition for it. Thus, assumed that the solid triangle arrow was supposed to be the solid diamond symbol.

I was able to get the solid diamond based on your instructions though.

Is it possible, or maybe it already has it, to have a message showup when the cursor is hovered over a symbol in the symbol palette, and/or when one hovers over the symbol in the UML model being developed such that is states "aggregate" or "composition" or any UML symbols name? Maybe even the ability to turn off/on the symbol hover message. This will be helpful for those that are still new to UML so that one doesn't need to have a cheat sheet of what the symbols mean.
