Bob H (ID: 000000b3f84007fc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/18/2020 Loving it, it's worked where other solutions couldn't manage a very large drawing. Feature request? Could you make it interactive so that you can highlight a block and press one of the direction buttons to redraw with that directional mark-up. Positioning blocks on larger PlantUML drawings is probably the hardest thing there is about using PlantUML
