I second this. I think dia should remain as a graphics editor, not try to be an UML validator.

I'd hate to try to set up an unorthodox diagram only to find that the editor says no for no good reason. What we could do, and I'd like to see, is have connections verify whether they make sense within their own sheet, so e.g. realizes doesn't point to a class. Preferably it should not forbid it, but indicate that it's a connection that doesn't make sense (like a text editor doesn't prevent you from making spelling errors). We'd need to allow connections to check before they're connected for that to work. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| Hårdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
