#27 "Connect elements exactly" dragging a class

[Gabriele Cucci]

These are the steps to reproduce my error.

I created a new project, with a package and a class diagram.
Into this class diagram I created two classes and an association between them.
Then, I created a new class diagram, in which I want to insert both the classes.
When I drag the second class, WhiteStarUML throws error "connect elements exactly".
After closing the error, WhiteStarUML shows a strange form of class.
Finally, it shows the class, but without the association.
And I didn't find any way to show hidden associations.

My version is 5.4.5.2
Thanks in advance

I think I managed to reproduce it. It happens when you drag on the diagram two classes connected with a directed association and you drag the pointed class first. I will look closer at this problem in the next few days but for now you may just drag the classes in the reversed order (pointing class first). It seems to be working correctly.

Thank you very much.

Can I ask you a question?
There is a method to show hidden associations?
If in a complex diagram I accidentally delete (but not from the model) an association, how can I show that again?
Currently I delete a class of the association and then I re-drag it into diagram.
There is another method?
Thanks, Gabriele

Indeed showing and updating associations may be annoying. In the past I tried to solve it with automatic updates but it lead to associations showing up multiple times so it had to be postponed but surely I will return to it.

Fixed in build 5.4.6
