Activiti 5.7 not displaying the process diagram properly

anagpal123 — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:07:32 GMT

Hi, I have deployed the bpmn20.xml and .activiti files for a process . When I try to view the diagram using Activiti Explorer (5.7) , all the constructs of the diagram are present but they are not displayed properly . The sequence flows are not linear and the whole diagram looks cluttered.

Hi,

The .activiti file is not a file you need to deploy. Maybe you can post the .activiti file so I can reproduce the problem.

Best regards,

'workaround' is building from source

Hi,

The reason was that the BPMN DI was not generated correctly.
We use the Eclipse Graphiti framework for the Designer implementation and it's pretty difficult to get all the x,y positions of the sequence flows out of there.
So there were some bugs there. But I think now the BPMN DI code has improved a lot and is even simpler.
Ronald was correct, that's the workaround. But I also did a preview distro built for the guys at Camunda which you can download here:
