I'm looking for a diagramming program that can help in designing software, right from the high-level requirements down to the low-level classes and functions. I've seen a lot of UML programs, but they don't let you design at multiple levels of detail in the same map, like if you could "zoom in" and design the details of a part. Do prog...

I'm fond of using UML diagrams to describe my software. In the majority of cases the diagrams are for my own use and I use them for more involved pieces of code, interactions etc. where I'll benefit from being able to look back over them in the future. One thing I've found myself doing a few different ways is diagramming threads. Thread...
I have 3 classes: Controller, DAL and Entity. The controller calls the DAL requesting an Entity. The DAL retrieves the entity data from the DB and creates a new Entity class which is then returned to the Controller. How do I show this on a UML sequece chart (no need to show the DB)? 2nd question: how should we share UML diagrams on S...
Hi, For my project report, i need to show the class diagram of the software i've built which counts around 20 classes! The problem, is that when i render the class diagram in jpeg file(either using StarUML or ArgoUMl or whatever..) we can't see the details correctly (very big picture because of the large number of classes). Well, how to...
I'm currently looking for diagramming software that allows me to quickly map stuff and jot down concepts such as a filesystem directories represented by nested boxes containing icons (representing files.)

Immediately I can think of a few ways that I would use it in my shop, and apply it to my development projects: ER Diagrams UML Diagrams Project Management (WBS's, org-charts, etc.) Documentation I know these things can be done in MS Word's drawing tools, but as far as I'm concerned, they loo...

Are there any UML tools that show live updates? I'm trying to have a design session online where all participates in their turn can change the design and add their own thoughts.

I find UML hard to create quickly. I'd like to put my ideas more quickly, especially for small open sourced projects. If it was big enough I'd bother with UML but the project is too small for this kind of thing. I don't want yet another tool that will make me think "nehh I'll do it later". Any suggestions? ...
