Word Wrap in Classes, Requirements and more
Now you can wrap texts in the models below. So it is much easier to layout the diagram even with models that have long names.

- Test Cases
- Artifacts
- ER Entities (Only in Entity Display Level)
Add Attributes & Operations by pasting text
You can now add Attributes and Operations to a Class by pasting text.
Same with Primary keys and Foreign keys to ER Entities.
