What’s new in
Moon Modeler version 6
This page was updated on April 19th
New diagram layout
We have modified the layout of objects in the diagram to make it clearer and to make working with objects in the diagram more comfortable.
The diagram now displays the collection in a group with other graphic objects representing fields of the Object data type (object details/documents).
These graphic objects are automatically positioned and therefore do not need to be manipulated manually in any way.
Easier definition of hierarchical structures
To add additional fields to an existing document/object, just click on the object name in the diagram (2). After this action, the object will be highlighted in orange and the Children tab (3) will be activated in the right sidebar. Here you can conveniently add additional fields.
Advanced visualization on sub-diagrams
Hierarchical structures can be quite extensive. In Moon Modeler, you can now choose whether or not you want to display the detail of a particular object/field.
In addition, you can set the visualization in a different way on each of the sub-diagrams. The displayed and hidden items will be preserved when you save the project.
Keyboard navigation
We have added the ability to navigate by items in a group of objects. Use the up and down arrows to easily move to the previous or next field.
Use the right or left arrows to move to/from the object detail.
And if you want to show or hide the detail, just press the CTRL key in combination with the right or left arrow key.
Updated layout features
We have modified the way features used to modify graphic elements or their positions in the diagram work. In the new version, you can hide some object details and then use one of the autolayouts for automatic arrangement. The width of the whole group of objects, i.e. collection and visible object details, is now taken into account.
