Tailor-Made Attributes to Your Needs
When default attributes are not "precise" enough to specify certain things about your model elements, this is where custom attributes or what are commonly known as "tagged values" come in. Let's say you are working with a UML class diagram with a class called Triangle. You can add a tag named api (for application programming interface) and assign the value "lib.shape" to it. For consistent reuse, you could group a set of tag definitions under a stereotype, which you can add to multiple model elements in future.
Plug-in support (Java)
Visual Paradigm plug-in provides an extendable platform for developers to add functions to DB Visual ARCHITECT. Developer can reference to the plug-in development guide to build their own plug-in to read, create, update and delete diagrams and model elements. Developer can use Java to develop plug-in. The following screenshots outline the steps to create plug-in for DB Visual ARCHITECT.
