The background image can be enabled/disabled via the Settings. You can either pick a predefined image or set your own custom image and adjust its dimensions.

The Settings dialog to adjust the background image.

Auxiliary Lines

Auxiliary lines are giving you a visual hint when aligning or resizing items. The lines start to fade in when you approach the edge you want to align to and become thicker the more your elements are aligned.

As this feature is not very sketchy-like, it's disabled by default, but you can easily activate it via the shortcut CMD/CTRL+SHIFT+A.

Auxiliary lines appear and indicate when two elements are aligned to each other.

Better Docking Point Handling

You can now use one of five docking points for starting a connection: The four edge points will create a line locked to the chosen docking side. However, dragging from the center point will create a line that automatically chooses the best-suited site for docking.

There are now five docking points from where to start a connection.

Other new Features

  • Notes can also be connected via relations now.
  • There is now a rule for allowing more than one method with the same signature. You can enable or disable this rule via the UML settings dialog.

Bug Fixes

  • Opening context menu on a connection point should not start line-dragging.
  • The lock state of a docking point was not shown correctly after the end point of a newly created line was locked.
