What’s new in
Luna Modeler version 13

This page was updated on January 14^th

You now have Greater Control over Relationship, Simple & Dependency Lines

You can leave the connection side set to Auto or manually select which side of the object the line should be anchored to.
You can also control the rendering of simple lines leading to objects such as Views, Functions, or just Text or Notes.
You can set the line color for each sub-diagram separately.

Screenshot of Luna Modeler showing relationship line detail and the option to set the sides to which the line will be anchored.

The image shows the placement of relationship lines leading to the same table column or the same object.

Multi-Line Scenario Enhancements

All lines leading to the same object are handled together, and the shortest anchor point is automatically selected.
If the lines lead to the same column of the table, they will be evenly distributed. This will help with clarity and identification of the lines.
We have improved the rendering of multiple self-relationships.

Predefined Graphics in Assets Panel

You can now add symbols and predefined graphic objects to diagrams. Easily create professional Data Flow diagrams within your project, add Flowcharts, or enrich ER diagrams with additional information.

Asset Visualizations and Documentation

Most objects added from the Assets panel can be displayed as Graphics or as Cards.
Such objects are also included in generated HTML reports.

Markdown Notes

In addition to classic texts and notes, you can add Markdown notes to the diagram, which support classic markdown and some HTML elements. This makes it easy to create a table, list, or add an image with a specific size.

ER Diagram created in Luna Modeler enriched with elements such as Swim Pool and Swim Lane.

Subject Areas, Swim Pools and Swim Lanes

To improve visualization, we have added new elements such as Swim Pool and Swim Lane. Work with these objects in the same way as with Subject Area. The only difference is in the visualization. You also have the option to set the color and style of the border.
