Basic operation of drawing UML diagram with Visio

Purpose

There are many tools to draw UML diagrams, and VISIO is just one of them. Visio is very brisk. A lot of people use it. But for many C++ programmers, there is a problem, that is, the words in VISIO come from the opposite direction, which is different from the words commonly used by C++ programmers. This makes many C++ programs far more confusing. I hope this article can solve this problem for you. We will use the following example (UMLSample.zip) to illustrate.

1. Start Visio

Draw UML * * step to start Visio, then select [File]-[New]-[Software]-[UMLModelDiagram] to enter the UML drawing state. The screen should contain at least three parts: shape window, Model Explorer, and drawing area. You can represent and hide the shape window by selecting [View]-[ShapesWindow]. Model Explorer is troublesome and must be done through [UML]-[View]-[ModelExplorer].

two。 Create various surfaces

Select [StaticMdel]-[TopPackage] in Model Explorer, right-click, and select [New]-[StaticStructureDiagram] from the pop-up menu to create a surface for making class structure diagrams. If you select [New]-[SequenceDiagram] from the pop-up menu, you can create a surface for making sequence diagrams.

3. Set the properties of an object

Most of the operation of setting the details of an object is done through the properties dialog box. You can represent a property dialog box by double-clicking or right-clicking an object and selecting a property.

Some tips for drawing UML diagrams

◆ changes the way you connect

Wiring is the most common operation in the process of drawing UML diagrams. As shown in the following picture, there are three kinds of lines: right-angle connector, straight-line connector and curve connector.

You can click on the cable you want to change with the right mouse button and select the appropriate cable type in the pop-up menu.

◆ expanding and shrinking

What I'm trying to say is not that of course we can expand and shrink through menus, but by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling up / down the mouse wheel.

◆ scrolls up and down / left and right

In addition to dragging the scroll bar with the mouse, you can also scroll up and down the screen with the mouse wheel. As for scrolling left and right, you may have guessed that you can press Shift first.

◆ copies objects that already exist

First press the Ctrl key, remove the object with the mouse, and * release the Ctrl key. Note that the Ctrl button must be released after the mouse is released.

◆ draws horizontal / vertical lines

Press the shift key, drag the mouse to draw a line, you can easily draw horizontal and vertical lines. In fact, you can also draw a 45-degree diagonal line.
