Design enterprise with ArchiMate diagram

Architect enterprise by simple yet powerful enterprise architecture notation, ArchiMate

Protect diagrams by password

Avoid unauthorized changes by locking diagrams with password.

Browse model elements by grid

Grid diagram gives another perspective of your project file. You can browse your design in tabular format and configure showing which columns.

Adjust application font size

Increase or decrease Visual Paradigm for UML application font size to fit to your usage.

Create connectors with turning points

Save diagramming time by create connecting objects with multiple turning point at once.

A³ Platform integration

Reference to A³ Platform's activities, issues and requirements easily. Open the referenced A³ Platform resources by just few mouse clicks.

Support URL for all shapes

Every element in VP project has a unique URL. You can send the URL to your colleagues to locate the target elements easily.

Browse dependent project diagrams

View sub-project diagrams in the master project without switch project back and fore.

Duplicate model elements from reference project

Automatic copy reference project model elements to current project. All model element members and properties will copy at the same time.

Export state machine diagram to SCXML

Automatic generate state machine diagram to SCXML.

Import Visio diagram as Stencil

Reuse Visio diagram with UML diagrams by importing Visio Drawing to Stencil.

Input sample data in ERD

Input sample data or initial database data when design database with Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). The generated database initialization script includes insert sample data to the database.

Place ID box in any position

Freely place ID label to anywhere or place the ID label in per-defined 8 direction.

Show shape name in different angle

Flexible caption placement options for different diagram layout.

Remember expanded and collapsed connection points

Automatic restore connection end point between expanded and collapsed shapes.
