Business Process Visual ARCHITECT 2.2 SP1 Release Notes

Release Date: March 4, 2008

Adding Folders as Favorites

In order to increase the efficiency of modeling, we may have a specific folder in our machine to store relevant materials, such as documentations and projects, so that we can easily pick up what we need.
In consideration of this, we have enhanced all file/directory choosers in our tools to allow adding folders as favorite. Once you add a folder as favorite, you can revisit the folder by clicking on the favorite link whenever you want to pick up the materials inside.

Grouping Shapes with Resource Icon

The grouping feature helps us to organize shapes in a group so that we can manipulate related shapes together (e.g. select, deselect, move, resize, etc.) in an easier way. Groups can be formed on shapes, you can also form a new group on top of existing groups.
In VP Suite 3.2 Service Pack 1, we can group shapes simply by the resource centric interface, which helps us to group shapes more easily.

Adjust Image Quality for Exported JPG files

Sometimes, we may export diagrams in different format. In VP Suite 3.2 (Service Pack 1), when we export diagrams as JPG images, we can choose to export the images in various quality levels. The higher the quality, the larger is the file size.
