- Various minor bugs.
- Various technical improvements.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.20 Build 2040 (Aug 11, 2009)
- Diagrams can now contain multiple sheets. A sheet is like a page, though each sheet may itself be divided into multiple 'pages' for printing purposes. Currently each sheet is an extension of the diagram and therefore shares the same diagram properties and styles.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.13 Build 2033 (Jun 25, 2009)
- New Copy Properties features.
- Fixed a bug that affected dragging an arc end off a full loop arc with Keep Shape stretch method.
- Fixed a bug that affected how self-transitions retain position when the base figure resizes.
- Fixed a bug in connection point mode that prevented connection points from being placed on edges or centers of figures interactively with grid snap enabled and figure not aligned or sized perfectly to grid when.
- Fixed a bug that caused screen relics when scrolling upwards with certain screen size designations.
- Fixed a bug that caused margins depicted on screen to appear radically different at different zoom levels.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.12 Build 2032 (May 28, 2009)
- Multiple arc stretch methods.
- Support for closed arcs (loops), free and to/from a connection point on a figure. Includes support for snap, align, space evenly, and so on.
- Field text now updates immediately when changed. For example if field text displays the current file name, it is updated when the file is Saved As another name without any need to refesh the display.
- Fixed a bug that prevented proper Undo when moving connection points on figures.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.10.2030 (Mar 24, 2009)
- A new type of curved path, a simple arc, has been added.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.09.2026 (Feb 5, 2009)
- For consistency, right-click now exits connect mode as it does for most other modes, returning to select mode. There remains one exception which involves right-clicking on a specific state symbol, in which a context menu is created for the purpose of adding self-references for certain diagram types.
- When editing text in text mode, key combinations involving Ctrl+SHIFT that extended the current selection (such as Ctrl+SHIFT End, Ctrl+SHIFT Home, and Ctrl+SHIFT arrow) were not functioning.
- When saving as HTML, memo text appearing in pop-up balloons did not display the proper character for extended characters in some languages. For example, the problem was reported involving memo text containing the 'รค' character in Swedish text. The problem involved the incorrect mapping of characters with extended codes (>128) to their UTF-8 web text unicode equivalents for use by the Title or Java tooltips.
- When editing text in text mode, it was possible for the range of selected text to be highlighted incorrectly, making it appear as though the wrong range text was selected. Due to the nature of the bug, the circumstances of the problem varied unpredictably but seemed to be most common when the selection was confined to a single line of text.
- When editing text in text mode, there was a case where changing a text attribute for a range of selected text (such as Bold or Italic) did not always work properly.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.08.2025 (Dec 9, 2008)
- Reapply Styles - A feature has been added to allow the original style attibutes of an object to be restored.
- When copying node styles within the styles screen, the original node style connection points and text margins were not copied to the new style.
- When changing a node's style (using the properties screen), the node's text margins were not being updated properly.
- When using search with extended characters in certain languages (codes beyond 0x80) a crash could occur if Match Case was not checked.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.07.2024 (Nov 5, 2008)
- Fixes a bug in which changing a figure's style reset the internal figure margin rather than using the margin of the style (if bound) or keeping the current margin (if unbound).
- Fixes a bug in which copying an existing style did not copy it's connection points to the new style.
- Fixes some very minor graphics issues.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.06 Build 2023 (Sep 16, 2008)
- This version was originally released as build 2022 on 09/08/08. That build contained a bug preventing proper editing of text using the Text tab of the properties screen. This build fixes that bug.
- Text Edit Context Menu While editing text (in Text mode), right-click now launches a context menu for easy access to commands like Cut, Copy, Paste, and so on, including the new Undo, Redo, and Insert Field commands (see below).
- Text Fields Simple text fields can now be added to figure or label text. A text field is a string of text that reflects information about the diagram. Fields available in this version include file name, creation time, and last save time. Multiple formats are supported for each. Fields can be inserted into text by placing the text caret and choosing Insert Field from the main Edit menu or from the right click menu.
- Text Edit Undo/Redo In earlier versions, figure and label text edits could only be undone in whole, reverting to the full text prior to any editing. Now individual text edits can be undone one at a time as is customary in word processing applications. While editing text in text mode, Undo is available from the Edit menu, from the right click context menu, or by the Ctrl-Z shortcut key sequence. Redo is also available in text mode as well (menu or Ctrl-Y). Note that Redo is currently only available for text editing while in text mode - it's not yet supported throughout the program.
- Text Style "All Caps" A range of text can now be given an All Caps style which forces the text to be displayed in all capital letters (if possible). The All Caps style works similar to Bold or Italics. By default, it is available only in the context (right-click) menu, but you can add a custom toolbar button if you prefer. The main usage is to provide a way to force inserted text fields to be all capital letters.
- Fixed a very minor bug in which page margin could be dragged and changed by accident when behind a diagram object.

New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.04 Build 2020 (Aug 6, 2008)
- Fixes a critical bug introduced in v6.04.2019 which affects the Save As screen when used with Windows XP. A compatibility issue causes an "Unsupported Operation" message and interferes with the the save.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.04 Build 2019 (Aug 1, 2008)
- Background Layer A background layer capability is now available for diagram objects. By adding objects to the background layer, they appear behind your diagram but do not interfere with any editing you do in the foreground.
- Holding down the Alt key while doing a lasso selection in Normal view selects objects on all layers.
- Copy copies only the selected foreground objects. Background layer objects are not copied unless also selected.
- The export screen now contains a "Background" option under the following conditions (1) foreground objects are selected (2) background objects are NOT selected (3) "Selected" option is chosen in the export file selection screen. When the background option is checked, the exported graphic will include the cropped background image behind the selected foreground objects. However, the exported image will remain cropped to the bounds of the selection rectangle, rather than being extended to include the entire background if the background is larger than the selection. See user guide or online help for further description.
- Copy now adds a bitmap to the clipboard.
- When editing a diagram embedded in another document, the view is now automatically adjusted to fit the embedded objects and the unnecessary page boundaries and margins are suppressed.
- Exported metafiles (EMF and WMF) are now properly sized.
- A bug has been fixed that caused certain text to appear in the wrong place when exporting to enhanced metafiles, or copying using OLE.
- A series of mostly minor bugs has been fixed that affected the appearance of metafile images used for exporting and displaying OLE embedded images when pasting diagrams into external documents.
- A bug has been fixed that caused some distortion of certain bitmap images imported or copied into diagrams, particularly those created by newer versions of MS Paint.
- A bug has been fixed that caused a crash when selecting a new font from within the New Diagram Wizard.
- A minor bug has been fixed in the Save As screen that caused the filename extension not to match the selected output format when a graphics format (not EDG) was selected
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.03 Build 2016 (Jun 28, 2008)
- Tools Options Screen The interface to this screen changed from tabbed format to tree format in order to better categorize options controls, make room for more descriptive graphics, and prepare for additions in upcoming releases.
- The default color palette included a duplicate color. Cyan and Aqua were equivalent in accordance with the X11 specification. This was both wasteful and confusing as either color would appear as Cyan when later reviewed. Aqua has now been re-defined to represent an appropriate new shade of the same color.
- The Page Set-up screen was limiting page dimensions to 32 inches square unnecessarily. Some large format printers support larger page sizes that were being handled improperly. A design limit of about 64 inches (but not 32) was required, and has been set as the new limit.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.02 Build 2014 (May 12, 2008)
- Interactive margins adjustment: Page margins can now be adjusted with the mouse in addition to using the Page Setup screen.
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.00.2012 (Mar 31, 2008)

New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 6.00.2004 (Mar 1, 2008)
- Major Vista and XP user interface update plus new features
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 5.08.1834 (Mar 20, 2007)
- Fixed a bug introduced with build 1831 that caused some symbols containing multiple text areas to grow improperly with added text.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when deleting a connector when the connector had an end that was connected to another connector that was contained within a group (rare case).
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 5.08.1830 (Jan 10, 2007)
- Bug fixes, user interface improvements
New in Pacestar UML Diagrammer 5.06 (May 10, 2006)
