With the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/support.creately.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360002098255-Creately-Desktop\">Creately <\/a>release, we&#8217;ve added on some really smart features that is sure to make your diagramming experience easier and rewarding. While we do have <strong>two awesome features<\/strong> to talk about, we&#8217;ll concentrate on just one in this post, with the next feature described in a subsequent post later on, during this week. So without further add, discover Creately&#8217;s multiple text feature on lines! To help you understand the potential this gives you, scour through the benefits illustrated below.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Add multiple text to lines<\/h3>\n<p>To make the whole process of plugging in extra text has been made easier. So easy, in fact, all you need to do is double click on the relevant line to create text. Even cooler is that you can create any amount of text on the line by double clicking at any point. Plus, editing text is also an easy\u00a0endeavor; all it requires is double-clicking on the text you want to edit. Observe this super-intuitive convenience in action below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7571\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 2px; margin-left: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" title=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1.png 550w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Easy drag functionality<\/h3>\n<p>So, now you can create any amount of multiple text on lines. But we&#8217;ve also taken pains to ensure that there is unhindered usability afforded with this feature as well. With most diagrams precision is key, which is why clicking and dragging text anywhere on the line to position and place your text makes the art of diagramming so much easier with Creately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Easy-drag-functionality.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7543\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 2px; margin-left: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" title=\"Easy drag functionality\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Easy-drag-functionality.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Easy-drag-functionality.png 550w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Easy-drag-functionality-300x140.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Experience multiplicity with\u00a0UML Associate connector type<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While multiple text can be added onto any type of line in a variety of diagrams, we&#8217;ve also ensured that there is multiplicity with regard to associate connector type in UML Class Diagrams. So, now there is no need to plug in awkward and mismatched textboxes when all you need to do is plug in multiplicity with just a click or two. Simply change the type of connector when connecting two Class objects to &#8220;Associate&#8221; and the multiplicity options will be available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/32.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7588\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 2px; margin-left: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" title=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/32.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/32.png 550w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/09\/32-300x110.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There you have it.
