![]() ![]() This depends on precisely how you design generative design! (and what you mean by necessary). In the Excel Import settings, make sure option 'Template' on tab 'Presentation' is set to 'Selected Template from Palette'.Do you guys feel that it is necessary to know computer programming in order to do generative design (the specific field/application isn't important)? In the Excel Import settings, make sure option 'Fir Size to Label' on tab 'Presentation' is turned off. This will turn the palette cell background a dark blue and turn the template into the default template for new nodes. Go to the new palette section and double-click the new node template.Right-click the new node to open its context menu and choose 'Add to Palette'.Create a user-defined palette section (see 'Edit' -> 'Manage Palette').In the properties view in yEd's lower right corner, change 'Configuration' in section 'Label' to 'Cropping'.In the properties view in yEd's lower right corner, change 'Size' in section 'Label' to 'Fit Node Size' or 'Fit Node Width'.Set the desired width and height for that node.Create a node by dragging a existing template from yEd's palette into yEd's editor area.Decide on a width and a height for imported nodes.The second approach requires more preparation. To change this behavior, open 'Tools' -> 'Fit Node to Label' prior to importing your spreadsheet and make sure 'Ignore Width' and 'Ignore Height' in the 'Fit Node to Label' settings are both turned off. You did not get the desired node height, because of a pitfall of 'Fit Size to Label': This setting means "use 'Tools' -> 'Fit Node to Label' to set the size for the created nodes" and by default 'Fit Node to Label' will only change the width of a node. The first approach is the one you used for the new sample images ("CHAR(10)" is the line break character). Do not add line breaks to your text cells and use automatic text wrapping in yEd.Enter manual line breaks in your text cells and activate Excel import setting 'Fit Size to Label'.When you import your spreadsheet into yEd, you do not want extremely wide nodes, though. You have a spreadsheet where some cells contain long lines of text. Let me restate your use case in my words: I think I do understand your use case much better now. Thank you very much for the additional information and the new sample images. So, I do need to Start with the Correct Size Node Box! I resized some Nodes to get al the Text inside the Node Box and then, tried your Layout > Edge routing > Orthogonal Idea. Numbered with a dash (-) for partitive relations, …"įor the Text to be displayed in the Node. With a full stop (period) (.) for generic relations and "The formal representations used in this International ![]() My Belief is that even if the Height is too Big for many Items, the Edges will be correct AND the diagram will look better than this one: Here's a link to a file that shows the need for the different Height: I resized some of the nodes to keep all the Text inside the Node Box and then using your Layout > Edgefit tEdgeo size gives me the right width. Now, I just need to make the Default Node Size Correctly. I do prepare the Multiline Text correctly in Excel. I use CHAR(10) in Excel to prepare the Input. ![]()
