How to Add a Self-Drawn Object to a Library

One of the key elements of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM solutions are the libraries, containing a set of associated objects. Using these collections of business-oriented vector objects, you can quickly get started making the diagram in the theme you need. The library collection can be supplemented by creating new or editing existing objects. You can create your own unique library just by dragging objects with the mouse. Library objects can be customized and saved for later use. You can change the scaling, color, line weight, label, and even the fill pattern of an object to use in custom drawings and diagrams. Your custom objects even can be searched for the next time you need to use them.

How to Make a UML Diagram

The Unified Modeling Language™(UML) is a standard visual modeling language to document business processes and software architecture. UML uses several types of diagrams including Use Case Diagrams, Class, Package, Component, Composite Structure Diagrams, Deployments, Activities, and Interactions. The accepted standard used when modeling a system is known as the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a generic set of notations that are used when creating UML diagrams. These notations can visually represent requirements, subsystems, logical and physical elements, and structural and behavioral patterns, that are especially relevant to systems built using an object-oriented style.
Using UML during the modeling process has a number of benefits — for one, the entire development team can share information and collaborate using a common language, diagrams, and software, something that's not possible when using a more task-specific programming language.
