Adobe Illustrator and UML

Question

Is Adobe illustrator good for drawing UML diagrams? I saw some architecture diagrams of Google Chrome in their website. Have you ever used it? Is it better than Visio?

Answer 1

One advantage of illustrator is that you can use short-cut keys. When you are familiar with the short cut keys, you can make diagram faster and faster.

Another advantage is that you can output vector images.

The disadvantage of it is that you need to draw every images by hand. e.g. ellipse, rectangle, lines and dotted lines.

If you've used illustrator liked too, you may like Free UML Tool Red Koda Community as it support short cut keys and help you make diagram faster and faster.
