Instant reverse C++ class diagram not drawn neatly if Show As Containment relationships not selected

If Show As Containment relationships is selected, the class diagram is drawn neatly. If I unselect it, the classes are all on top of each other at the upper left corner of the class diagram VPPInstantReverseForm

How can I fix this? The classes are in the following format

namespace A
{
namespace B
{
class C {};
}
namespace D
{
class E : public B::C {};
}
}

Hi packerx,

I cannot reproduce the problem:

There are some messages at the bottom right corner, is there any related warning/error?
Can you perform auto layout on the diagram?

My current folder structure is like this
Source

  • source/include
  • source/src
  • lib/Library1
  • lib/Library2
  • lib/Library3

The libraries have include and src folders inside them. The following scenarios trigger this for me

  • selecting Library2 only
  • selecting source (small letters) and Library1

I have a feeling that it is breaking due to heavy use C++ templates and variable arguments on the class template parameters but it would be best if I can send a log to you as the log window is not showing any errors, only that I have the latest VPP version.

Thanks for pointing out auto layout as it is my first time using it and it works. So it is turning out to be a not so critical issue but a bug as auto layout works but not importing by default.

Hi packerx,

You can export log and send it to support-team@visual-paradigm.com with the link to this post in the Email.

Thanks. I have exported the log and will send it in.
