Smart Development Environment 4.0 release notes

Enhanced project loading and saving speed

In this release, we introduce a new persistent architecture. The new persistent architecture improved speed and memory usage in handling middle to large scale project both in local and teamwork environment.

Shape Editor

Although UML and BPMN is an extensive and well-established notation, sometimes they still not rich enough to express your idea. There is a new feature called Shape Editor for designing notation (stencil). You can design your own notation or incorporate clip arts into your diagram.

Data Flow Diagram

Data flow diagram is a well known approach to visualize the data processing in business analysis field. A data flow diagram is strong in illustrating the relationships of processes, data stores and external entities in business information system.

Slice large diagram into specified number of output images

Using or reading a very big image file is troublesome. There is a new feature called Diagram Slicer for cutting a big diagram into specified number of image files in manageable size.

Reference to diagram

In UML space, there is no isolated model. All models should relate to other model(s). You may put a visual relationship (e.g. Association) to related models. Sometimes the relationship between models is not strong enough to have a visual relationship. You may add files, URLs and diagram references to models for elaboration or navigation purposes.

Automatic form diagram after Instant Reverse

Instant Reverse can visualize your implementation to Class diagram. A Form Diagram dialog box will show after you instant reverse your class(es). You can select various options to visualize your reversed classes.

Configure File Types

You can configure to use specific application or command to open different types of file and specify your favorite web browser to open URL.

Introduce Viewer Edition

Viewer Edition lets you open and view project file created with Visual Paradigm product. In addition to viewing project file, all navigation features like Jump to shape, zoom in/out are also supported in Viewer Edition. Viewer Edition is free to be used and distributed. You can copy Viewer Edition to your customers, team members if they only need to browse your project.
