Auto-layout collapses classes

Auto-layout collapses classes

• JTK

  Class Designer will auto-collapse only shapes which don't have lines connected to them. If you want to exclude those shapes from layout, just select the shapes you want to layout, right-click any shape within selection and choose "Layout Diagram" - this will only layout shapes which are selected and won't affect the other ones.

  I agree that this lack of functionality is very annoying. So much so that I would prefer to use a different tool for displaying diagrams altogether, but have not found a reasonably priced one yet.

  Thanks... I suppose that makes sense since auto-layout is mostly useful for disentangling connected shapes. Still, could you please provide an option for this behavior It would be nice if disconnected shapes were automatically put away in some corner and nicely aligned with the other shapes, without collapsing them.

  It would be nice if the Auto-Layout would work when classes are expanded. In other words, I would like to print out a (large) diagram with each class's attributes, methods and properties visible. I know I can highlight all classes and make them expand, but there's no way to make them layout nicely.

  Just my .02
