How can I increase the performance of STAMP Workbench ?

The performance level of STAMP Workbench depends on the RAM capacity of your machine.

Try the following methods to improve the performance:

Turn off the mouse cursor tracing option.

In some environments, this option may slower the drawing on the diagram.

Tune the garbage collection settings of Java.
  1. Run the text editor as an administrator and open stampworkbench.l4j.ini. It is stored in the STAMP Workbench install folder.

  2. Change the heap size. It depends on your environment and the maximum size of “-Xmx” is 1024m on the 32bit machine.

    Example)

    -Xms16m

    -Xmx512m

STAMP Workbench is slow to operate

If several diagrams and tables are opened in the Diagram Editor, the operation of STAMP Workbench becomes slow. Please close the unused diagrams and tables.

How can I use the different Java VM?

  1. Copy the jre folder of the installed JDK in your machine.
  2. Replace the jre folder in the STAMP Workbench installed folder to the copied jre folder.
  3. Run STAMP Workbench.

Note) Java that does not meet the STAMP Workbench Requirements is not supported in STAMP Workbench .

Can I paste diagrams in Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint?

Diagrams can be exported as an image file with BMP, PNG, EMF and SVG formats. Go to [Tool] - [Export Image] in the main menu and save the image file. And then, insert it into Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Or, select Diagram Elements on the Diagram and go to [Edit]-[Copy to Clipboard] in the Main Menu.

Vector (EMF and SVG) format keeps clearer image than the raster format so that it does not degrade by scaling the pasted image.

Note) Ungrouping images in Word, Excel are not supported.

Can I export tables to Excel?

Each table can be exported from the Export to Excel button which is located in the upper right corner of the table.

To export all tables in the project, go to [Tools]-[Export All Tables to Excel].
