I also will continue to use Visio for now - allthough I prefer Creately I can not force my customer to use Creately or only share an image. I hope some estimate can be given.

Add a flag status to each element [updated]

2010-07-21T10:03:04+00:00

Besides the properties like notes and URL I would like to have a way to set up a flag for each element. Lets say I'm designing a website and I want to keep track of which pages are already done, which ones are in construction, if there is a problem with one and the team can't continue, etc... This flags can be custimizable to any names you want to specify. And the color of the item under this flag will change so you be able to see where is your attention required without clicking each item and see the notes.

why aren't you using color coding for that? white for not started, yellow for in progress, green for done,...

create custom connection points

Michael Haszprunar suggested:
All elements have a limited amount of connection points. It would be great to be able to create custom connection points so that I can use more individual connections (-> better overview).

Make combined elements connectable

Michael Haszprunar suggested:
At the moment, combined elements have no connection points. To conenct them, you have to ungroup them, connect and then combined them again. This takes quite some time. Ideally, just preserve the connection points of the original elements to connect to...

resize canvas: be able to choose direction

2010-07-21T09:44:00+00:00

Michael Haszprunar suggested:
When resizing the canvas, it always adds space at the bottom and to the right. This is quite unconvenient if I need more space at the bottom or to the left. Suggestion: let me decide where to put the extra space like in other painting tools

Hi Dan,

We currently have our CDML file format that you can export and contains the right semantic information to do this.

Would be great if you can have a crack at this.

We are putting up the full spec of the file format shortly, that should get you started.

Any way to get information in an out via XML would be fine for me. I can write an XQuery using typeswitch in a few hours to transform the data into any format. I just need the XML with the semantic information it is somewhere.

See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery/Typeswitch_Tranformations for how to do this.
