UML


Template based code generation now available and customizable. UML now provides template based code generation for Forward Engineering.  The new code generation approach uses FreeMarker templates, which allow users to customize how code is generated by simply modifying the templates used.  Users can enhance code generation by adding new code generation templates using the Domain Templates panel in the UML Options window.

Enhanced code generation feature. The ability to merge newly generated source code into existing source code files is now available.

Improved collections management.  A user's collection types are preserved during Forward and Reverse Engineering and may be set and changed via properties dialog for code generation.

Alignment Tools now available. The Diagram Editor now has alignment tools available. Select the diagram elements to align, right-click the selection, and choose Align from the pop-up menu.

Distribute Tools now available. The Diagram Editor now has Distribute tools available. The tool takes three or more selected objects and spreads them out with even spacing based on the center point, left edge, or right edge of the first selected object.

New Window Layout. By default, the Documentation window is now docked to the Properties window area. The Design Center window is now docked to the Explorer area by default.

Save As action now on diagram node. The "Save As" action has been added to diagram nodes. The action allows a diagram to be duplicated.
