Apart from offering you the normal copy, cut and paste functionality that you would expect to copy
|
||
|
|
objects between different diagrams, &umbrello; can copy the objects as PNG pictures so that you can
|
||
|
|
insert them into any other type of document. You do not need to do anything special to use this feature,
|
||
|
|
just select an object from a diagram (Class, Actor, &etc;) and copy it (<keycombo>&Ctrl;<keycap>C</keycap></keycombo>,
|
||
|
|
or using the menu), then open a &kword; document (or any program into which you can paste images) and select <guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem>. This is a great feature
|
||
|
|
to export parts of your diagram as simple pictures.

You can also export a complete diagram as an image. The only thing you need to do is select
|
||
|
|
the diagram you want to export, and then the option <guimenuitem>Export as Picture...</guimenuitem> from
|
||
|
|
the <guimenu>Diagram</guimenu> menu.

&umbrello; allows you to print individual diagrams. Press the <guiicon>Print</guiicon> button on the

application toolbar or selecting the <guimenuitem>Print</guimenuitem> option from the
|

|

your diagrams.

<para>

|
To better organize your model, especially for larger projects, you can create logical folders in
|
||
|
|
the Tree View. Just select the option <menuchoice><guimenu>New</guimenu><guimenuitem>Folder</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the context menu
|
||
|
|
of the default folders in the Tree View to create them. Folders can be nested, and you can
|
||
|
|
move objects around by dragging them from one folder and dropping them into another.
