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. It allows team members to create system 'blueprints', creating diagrams that show the system as a unified whole, but also allowing the option to break that system down into component parts or processes. The ability to create UML diagrams in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is contained in the Rapid UML Solution. The solution provides a set of special tools for creating UML diagrams.

Run ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.
Reveal the Rapid UML item in the Solution panel.
Activate appropriate UML libraries by clicking a library preview in the Solutions panel.
Add your first object to the page.

Add the next object by clicking on its icon from the RapidDraw arrows that pop up when you bring the mouse cursor over the object.
The new objects will be automatically drawn and connected to the previous ones.
Use the Action button menu to assign possible properties to the UML elements.
