Toolbar Enhancement
In order to let you with smoother with diagram editing, our diagram toolbar is enhanced by grouping a set of tools into a new category, so that they are more reachable and well-organized.
The Tools Category
The common set of diagramming tools are organized in the Tools category. Like other categories in the toolbar, you can show/hide or expand/collapse it.
Point Eraser
Select the Point Eraser tool and drag over unwanted connector points to remove them.
Sweeper
Select the Sweeper tool, click on the diagram and drag to either top, left, bottom or right to sweep shapes to the corresponding direction.
Gesture Pen
Mouse gesture is a unique feature in our diagramming interface for drawing diagrams or executing actions quickily. Before the introduction of the Gesture Pen, user need to draw gesture in a rather tricky way (e.g. right-click and drag if in Windows platform).
Animated Demo
With Gesture Pen, mouse gesture become much more intuitive to use. You can simply select the Gesture Pen tool, and then draw the gesture on the diagram like you are drawing with a real pen.
Many tasks can be accomplished using mouse gestures, for example, creating a Package.
Or create a connection with a new/existing shape.
You can also perform layout diagram, synchronizing between diagrams, and many other functions using mouse gestures. To view all supported mouse gestures, select menu Help > Mouse Gestures....
