And we&#8217;ve found that many of our users really like collaborating on UML designs with their Teams through Creately. With <a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/tour\">built-in commenting, easy embeds for your project wiki and PDF exports<\/a>, Creately is perfectly suited for almost all types of software and design documentation.<\/p>\n<h3>Little Niggly Issues<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, there were a few issues and limitations with our UML support. Little niggly things that were marring your experience with Creately. So we&#8217;re spent the last forth-night going through all the reported issues with a fine tooth comb to make <a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/Draw-UML-and-Class-Diagrams-Online\">Creately for UML<\/a> an easy to use and perfectly functional <a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/Draw-UML-and-Class-Diagrams-Online\">UML modelling software<\/a>. This is just the beginning. Expect a whole lot more from <a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/Draw-UML-and-Class-Diagrams-Online\">Creately for UML <\/a>in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>What have we Improved?<\/h3>\n<p>Without going into too much detail, I&#8217;ll list out some of the fixes we&#8217;re included in this release of Creately UML.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Resizing UML shapes &#8211; Previously, when you resize a UML shape like a Class or Package, the new size is not correctly saved, resulting in diagrams getting a little messy when they are re-opened later. This fix was particularly challenging for UML objects, as they support Filtering data properties in the diagram &#8211; making them dynamic shapes that resized as you added more Attributes and Members. Issue Fixed.<\/li>\n<li>Copy &amp; Pasting a UML shape resulted in the copied shape being resized to its default size. This has been fixed, so the next time you make a copy of any UML object, you&#8217;ll get an exact copy. Issue Fixed.<\/li>\n<li>Limit on the size of the Attributes and Operations you can enter into a Class and Object Shape. We&#8217;ve removed this now, so you can model large classes with no problems. Issue Fixed.<\/li>\n<li>Adding more attributes and operations to UML shapes, didn&#8217;t always automatically resize the shapes, resulting in a muddled image. Now all UML objects will automatically resize to fit all visible data properties. Issue Fixed.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-900\" title=\"uml-old\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/uml-old.png\" alt=\"uml-old\" width=\"259\" height=\"173\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-904 alignnone\" title=\"uml-new2\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/uml-new2.png\" alt=\"uml-new2\" width=\"231\" height=\"226\" \/><\/li>\n<li>When working with Filters on UML shapes, turning on the attributes or properties in a small shape would cause the text to spill out of the shape. Now all shapes automatically re-size to accommodate filtered text. Issue Fixed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We&#8217;re working very hard to make Creately an ideal solution for all you software and design teams out there.
