MagicDraw introduces the smart shape sizing when drawing new elements from other elements via paths. The size of the newly created shape is kept the same as the size of the shape from which the path is drawn:

  • Drawing a shape from another shape using a path from smart manipulator. The size of the new shape is the same as the size of the shape from which you draw a path. Note that this is valid if the source shape is not large, for example, if it is not more than 3 times larger than the new shape.
     
  • Inserting a new shape into the flow in the activity or state diagram. The size of the newly inserted shape is the same as the size of the existing shape.
