New Features

Move Group Names

SHIFT + Click on a group's name to move it around. Choose the lock/unlock command from the menu to enable auto-positioning again.

Drag the name of a group

Move Relation Names

The same also works for Relations: You can change the position of a relation name by pressing SHIFT and dragging the name with the left mouse. The name keeps its new position if only one end is moved, but also moves if both ends are dragged. Use the menu command to activate auto-positioning again.

Drag the name of a relation

Iterate through overlapping Relations

Ever had the problem that you could not grab a line because it was hidden by another one? Press CMD/CTRL and either the left or right arrow key while hovering over the lines to step through them one by one.

Moving Relations

You want to arrange several parallel relations? No problem, just click and drag the name of a relation to move it horizontally/vertically.

Draggable Wheel Menus

Not all parts of the wheel menu are visible because your element is at the diagram's edge? Just drag and drag the menu to the desired position with the left mouse key.

Bug Fixes

Fixing Access to Network Devices (macOS)

UMLBoard runs under macOS in Sandbox mode, meaning it has only limited access to file resources on cloud devices like iCloud, Google Drive or Dropbox. This can result in UMLBoard not being able to open these files without getting explicit permission from the user. Choosing such a file from the recent file list or from the Welcome screen the first time, UMLBoard will ask you to open the file explicitly via the Open File dialog. After you have done this once, UMLBoard should be able to open the file without any future issues.
