talks about UML modelling tools?

[michael520]

I am using VISIO now, but feeling it not so suitable for c++.

For example, it doesn't support attributes of struct! This makes visio not so convenient for c++ project! I know, MS just make visio to work with dot net framework.

then I try "Enterprise Architect", it's much better, and no more than 20MB's size.

and I had tried Rose long time ago, but the size of it.....terrible!

Any ppl talk about the UML modelling tools you ever use?

Or the commercial branch of ArgoUML, Poseidon from Gentleware, which offers a free community edition.

If you like free software, try this:

I did my first steps in UML with it and found it quite usable.

I don't believe in MDA, so I prefer more tools allowing fast and efficient drawing of diagrams, without constraint checking and all that cal.
I found this free stencil set for Visio to be the best usable so far: http://www.phruby.com/stencildownload.html

You can try MagicDraw UML, ir cost €125 but its good.. http://www.magicdraw.com/

There is also a free visio stencil set available at http://www.uml-glasklar.com as add-on for a very good german UML text book.

Depends on what you want to do with UML. I for one would recomment UModel, it's pretty cheap. But ok, maybe I'm a bit biased. But what should I do when someone is asking for an UML tool in this forum..
