Libreoffice and crossfunctional flowcharts - libreoffice

I have to create a crossfunctional flowchart for a given task. It is explained how to do in Microsoft Visio, but I can't activate that because my pc is offline and is going to be for a long time. Libreoffice is the best alternate I could find, but here I can't find the way of defining custom properties for the shapes. It seems to be vital for analyizing the bp itself so I can't work without it. Is it possible to create such flowcharts in Libreoffice Draw? Or it supports only drawing?

Not sure about Libreoffice, but here is the tool where are lots of free templates and libraries for cross-functional flowcharting
Not free (about 199 usd or less, but has free trial period and free support)

How to use only TinyMCE WYSWYG Core Plan

I have registered for https://www.tiny.cloud/ but by default it gave me 1 month FREE Trial of premium features. I don't want to use any of this feature. If I implement this my client will use these features and after 1 m he will ask. How can convert my free trial to basic Tiny Core which is open source for ever.
The API key will convert to the free version automatically. If you are just using the community features you will be good to go! No need to change or do anything.
Of course, you might want to try the premium features during the 30-day trial to see if they are useful and valuable to your use case.
You should go to Github and clone/download the open source project

Where are custom maxscript modifiers saved?

I'm studying maxscript by reverse engineering good (.mse) custom modifiers available online. Where do I locate them after installation so I can study them?
In the name of self studying, I've looked around for different free custom modifiers for 3DSmax. My main interest lies in looking at how these modifiers were written in maxscript since seeing samples and studying good code is a great way to learn.
I've downloaded and installed a few that were from the .mse format, and sure enough they show up in my 3DS max's modifier list and they work the way they should properly.
Where im lost is ~ if I use a tool like search everything on my machine, I only get directed back to the original .mse files that i downloaded. And I dont see the names of any of these custom modifiers on the plug in manager tab in 3DS max.
So if i wanted to study the code, where can I look for them?
(other than reaching out to their original creators who have been inactive for years lol)
Many thanks
Happy new year
.mse scripts do not contain source text.
Those files are encrypted and there's no way you can see what's inside.

Trying to add an add-on with an license that covers it but am being forced to buy it

My university has a total headcount license that covers all major add-ons. I was able to install it, alongside the two add-ons I need (Image Processing Toolbox and Computer Vision System Toolbox) at home with the install wizard.
However, in the lab when I try to add these add-ons to my matlab environment (even when logging in) via the 'Get Add-Ons' option in the menu (Add-On Explorer), I am forced to 'Buy' each toolbox. i.e. I am not offered the option to download it, despite it being covered in my license. Any idea how to get this working/ alternative method?
I should also note, it's not possible to reinstall Matlab as I do not have the permissions required.
For anyone who arrives here after me, just use Matlab Online. Bit of an workaround but it's the only solution I found.
https://matlab.mathworks.com/
This does not exactly answer the question, but nowadays it is not essential to stick to Matlab. Python with OpenCV and Numpy, R are basically free options with no license hassle and lots of support. Plus, you will be able to use your code after graduation :o)

How to installing eUML2 free-version in Eclipse 3.6

I need to do some UML diagrams, and doing the work right in Eclipse by reverse engineering classes is the best/fastest approach for me. Taking advise found elsewhere on Stack Overflow, I'm playing with eUML2.
The problem I have is this... I installed the Studio demo, and it worked well for us. However, for now, I just need to do the class diagrams which are available in the free edition. So I uninstalled the studio demo, and installed the free. However, it still thinks I have the studio demo installed as the background of my diagrams has it in 24pt font, and in the top right of the page it says "* Evaluation *".
Reading around, I assume this issue is around the problem with the license file contained in the install of the free version... or the fact that it is missing from the free version.
Anyone here figured out the license file issue with eUML2? Where can I find a free license, or an install with the free license in it? Where is the license stored in my install? can I just kill it?
I could ask this question on the Soyatec forum, however this question has been asked a number of times, with no answers provided. Either they do not monitor their forums, or one must pay the 100€ price for support to get an answer.
The studio license is installing a file in your folder user/.eclipse/configuration/... If you erase this file then the tool will consider it is a new install of the software.
Having said that I would not recommend to use eUML because it is full of bugs and adding UML tags in your code. A real mess mixing code and model !!
For your information it seems to me that it is intentional not to answer to any question and stop the Soyatec company.
Don't forget that Soyatec is more or less a kind of Omondo spin off. 4 shareholders having created the omondo company left it with the code of EclipseUML 2005. I know that the tool is now totally different because being revamped by a new team but the architecture is still more or less the same.
Omondo Corp is currently being under acquisition by a large US software company and once the sell will completed it could be possible that they claim redundancy package, or company shares etc... to the main shareholder who sacked them few years ago. They have a split contract but it seems that it is not valid.
Just money, always money. This world is disguising :-)

How can I generate comparable spec documents?

Currently in my company we're using Excel as a tool to write specs.
On the kind of projects we're working on, spec changes are a matter of course, and constitute a lot of the work, beyond the implementation.
I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to write a spec, including screenshots and arrows, but with comparable content. i.e., something that will allow me to compare between versions of the spec.
Free tools are better, but I guess anything with a license of less than 100USD will be OK too.
MS Word handles text and pictures, and has a document diff'ing tool built in. Open Office (being a MS Word Clone) may have something similar, and is free.
Maybe XMLmind Editor will interest you.
There's an excellent free Sequence Diagram editor: QUICK SEQUENCE DIAGRAM EDITOR. It's artifact is an xml document with CDATA tag which encloses simple DSL used for SD declaration.
