Business Process Visual ARCHITECT 1.0 SP1 Release Notes

Release Date: March 8, 2006

Pallet Style toolbar

All types of diagram allows you to create diagram elements from any diagram types. For example, you can draw classes, use cases, and sequence diagram lifelines all in a single diagram. This facilitates a more flexible modeling process, and you can now express your real idea by mix-and-matching the desired elements together.

Jumping to shape/model

In order to let you locate the desired shape/model easier and faster, the jump to shape/model facility is introduced. You can selected either jump to a shape in the active diagram, or jump to any shape/model in the current project.

Quick Connect

The resource-centric interface in Visual Paradigm products is a helpful feature that it dramatically increase the efficiency of diagram editing, especially for making connections between shapes. However, for a complex diagram it is often infeasible to make use of resource-centric to connect with a target shape. In the new version of our products, the quick connect feature is introduced to overcome this problem.

Scrolling to connected shape

Editing complex diagrams has always been a headache to serious software/business process modelers, especially for those with lots of connections that span multiple screens. It is hard to see where a connector comes from and where it goes to unless you scroll the diagram manually. The �scroll to� feature is therefore introduced in Visual Paradigm's diagram editing to relieve your headache.
