st: Can I have SEMs' coefficients results on the diagram if I change the starting values?

[Andrea De Angelis <andreadeangelis84@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalisters,

I am working on a non recursive Structural Equation Model (Stata 12.1).
I would like to show the diagram with the path and variance
coefficients on my paper.

However, I have found convergence problems: in some cases the "initial
values not feasible r(1400)" error; in other the  "(non concave)"
convergence on a log-likelihood; in other the "explosion" of
log-likelihood on extremely high positive values.

Hence, I am modifying the starting values of my variances via a
command line (as I do not find any way of changing them within the SEM
builder GUI's estimation options).
Now the estimation converges, but the results are only displayed as
Stata output's tables, and not as coefficients' values on the
graphical diagram.

Is there a way to change the starting values on the SEM builder
interface, or to change them in the common AND have the results on the
diagram?

Thank you for any help.
Andrea De Angelis
