ConceptDraw 1.55 to 1.58
GENERAL
- The Options item (Tools->Options) is now named Preferences, and is in the Edit menu.
- Text control toolbar is now visible in the drawing mode as well (it only appeared
in the text editing mode before). It displays text properties for the first paragraph of
the primary object (with green handles). If there're no objects selected, the toolbar
displays the default text settings.
New features and enhancements:
- Smart Selection - the program remembers which
objects were selected the last time (if more than one) and lets you restore the entire
selection by clicking on any of these objects. This mode can be toggled on/off by checking
Smart Selection on Miscellaneous tab of the Preferences dialog. The default setting is
off.
- Enhanced selection of object handles - now it's possible to select multiple handles of
any kind (not only vertices). This adds additional capabilities, like resizing a number of
objects at a time, moving several handles simultaneously, and more. You can manipulate
selected handles with the mouse or keyboard, and quickly delete them using Del/Backspace
(Delete).
- Settings in export dialogs are remembered throughout a work session.
- In the Export to HTML dialog, the system color dialog is used for background color
selection.
- Ctrl+Shift+V(Cmd+Shift+V) - inserts object(s) from the Clipboard into the same
relative position on a page.
- Now, if you draw a segment with Ctrl(Cmd) held down, this segment is added as a
new geometry to the primary selected object (if there are any selected).
- New tool: Fit To Text - automatically fits an object
to the size of the text it holds.
Bugs fixed
- Now, Undo/Redo actions display correctly in the menu after Combine/Join/Scatter
operations.
