Question

There are a lot of UML Diagrams besides the well known use cases, and class, activity and sequence diagrams. Those other diagrams are not so common, so not all the diagram tools for UML include them.

That's the case of the UML Composite Structure Diagram. For example, DIA doesn't include it. WhiteStarUML includes it, but I don't like it because it is not intuitive. It is maybe possible with yEd as we can create forms with our own images, but I wasn't able anyway.

Do you know an intuitive tool to create this diagram?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can use VP-UML, community edition. It is free and it has the Composite Structure Diagram. Only today I used it this way.

And notice, the modelling tools are not nice, look here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21727625/715269. Notice some numbers that are written vertically. I don't want it, but I can't control it. And EA(not free variant) is less nice and IBM Modeller, that is free, is MUCH less nice.

Diagramming tools can be nice, but they do not support modelling - check for correctness and inter-diagram dependencies. Of them, I found MS Visio acceptable, but it is not free.
