When drawing UML diagrams (e.g. use case diagram), sometimes you might find yourself in a place where you could use other non-UML shapes, in order to explain the concept better. That’s why we made a collection of predefined stencils available for you. You can even import stencils from Microsoft Visio.
This tutorial will show you (1) how to use predefined stencils that come with VP-UML and (2) import stencils from Visio to VP-UML.
In use case diagram, associations between actors and use cases are explicitly shown. We can see it clearly when an actor carries out a use case (or goal) from a line drawn between them. However, what if an actor does not carry out a use case but do refer to the output from it? How do we model that?
To pass a message between two sequence diagrams in UML modeling, we can make use of gates. Through modeling gates, we could relate the message outside an interaction fragment with message inside another interaction fragment.
Graphically a gate, with an arrowed line, connects to the sequence diagram’s frame edge with one end and the other end connected to a lifeline.
In this tutorial we will show you how to model gates in sequence diagrams using Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML).
In helping you organize your modeling project, use cases can act as generic containers for all software development artifacts. Development teams can group and locate design artifacts by navigating use cases.
In this tutorial we are going to show you how to create a new data model (i.e. entity relationship diagram) and associate that with a use case. And in future, you can easily identify existing associations as such by use cases and conveniently, be taken to the related diagrams right on the spot in just a few clicks.
You are welcomed to evaluate any Visual Paradigm software products before purchase. Without a key, you can try any edition and evaluate it for up to 10 days. If you request and import an evaluation key, you can extend the trial period to 30 days.
For those who are interested in Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML), there is an additional option available. You could try its community edition. Once activated with an activation key, it won’t expire. There are some usage limitations, however, and we will go over them later.
In this article, we will walk through how to obtain (1) an evaluation key and (2) an activation key.
This article will show you how to give up local changes and update to latest server revision. This tutorial is prepared in Visual Paradigm for UML but should be also work in Agilian and Logizian with same step.
Visual Paradigm’s product can be installed in few clicks. But in some situation, say bulk installation, you may not want to install the software one by one through the installer. In this case you can use the silent install mechanism to install the software automatically. This tutorial will teach you how to perform silent installation of VP’s software. Read more
Process modeling on tablet
In business improvement, business users’ feedback is important to help improve the quality of process design. That’s why analysts have to meet with the users from time to time to present the latest process design and ask them for feedback. Unfortunately, traditional ways of presentation, such as slideshow failed to work well for presenting process designs. In this article, we will see what the problems are and how Windows tablets can make business process presentation more effective.
