Visual Paradigm for UML Community Edition PDF Version
 
Visual Paradigm for UML Community Edition (VP-UML CE) is a modeling platform designed for learning UML™ modeling through our best-of-the-breed and award-winning visual modeling technology that facilitates UML visualization in the latest UML 2.1 notation in 13 different types of diagrams, as well as ER Diagrams, Requirement Diagrams, CRC Diagrams and Textual Analysis.
Powerful and Easy-to-use GUI
Now developers can create diagrams much faster than any tool on the market through VP-UML's most intuitive resource-centric and mouse location sensitive GUI. Tidy up your complex and messy diagrams with just one mouse click by using VP-UML's automatic diagram layout technology and yet the unique gesture editing capability makes diagramming a fun task.
Extendibility and Custom Design Support
Extending UML capabilities beyond the latest UML 2.1 is no longer a dream! Now, VP-UML allows you to design new notation or incorporate custom shapes or symbols by using image icon import, UML profile or Visio integration capability. VP-UML CE is for non-commercial use only and only supports one diagram per diagram type. All outputs of VP-UML CE have a single line water mark at the top left corner stating the software is for non-commercial use only.
