StarUML v2.0.0-beta2 is now available for download. This release includes the following features and fixed issues.
Automatic Diagram Layout
Now you can layout diagrams automatically (except Sequence Diagram). The menu could be found in Diagram > Layout Diagram menu.
QuickEdit Animation
There were some bugs to show expression errors (e.g. Attribute Expression). We have changed the way of showing errors in QuickEdit. Now, QuickEdit shows shake animation when user enters invalid expression like the below video.
Keyboard Manipulation
We have added some convenient keyboard manipulations in the Diagram Editor as follows:
- Tab: Select next element.
- Cmd(Ctrl)+Arrow: Move selected views.
- Enter: Popup QuickEdit on selected view.
The detailed resolved issues can be found at Release Note.

Quick question here… Running on Windows 8.1 64-bit, I can’t create any new diagrams. I’m stuck with the original class diagram. Under “Model / Add” and “Model / Add Diagram” menus, all the options are disabled. In the explorer pane, right-click “Add” and right-click “Add Diagram” both have no effect. What am I missing? I had this problem with Beta 1 as well.
Actually, we couldn’t tested on various OS versions. Could you post the question on our Forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/staruml) again to share with other users? Then, I’ll give an detailed instruction to check the problem.
