I didn't get round to answering some of your last lot of feedback. I
agree that having "reset tools after create" would be good to have as the
default. As for the move tool, I implemented the type of dragging you
described when you hold down the shift button. Maybe this should be
default as well?

At the moment, the UML objects don't really allow configuration of their
presentation, only the data they represent.
Maybe the sybase objects (and most of the network objects) should be
converted to custom objects. That seems like the easiest way of adding
extra features to these objects (it may not even break compatibility).

This needs a bit of work.

Well, in CVS, you can easily tear off the menu with all the display
options, and that will update when you change current diagram.
