Visual Paradigm for UML 8.2 Release Notes
Release Date: May 3, 2011
Automatic sequence diagram generation
For every use case, you can document all user's inputs and system responses using the flow of events editor, and generate a complete sequence diagram with just one click. This helps realize the interactions within use cases by mean of sequence diagram.
Model refactoring
Move project data (i.e. model elements/diagrams) from current to dependent project through model refactoring. This ease the sharing of common project data, improves readability as well as to reduce complexity of project.
Highlight glossary term
Glossary terms are highlighted in shape captions and documentations. You can click on a term to popup the glossary to read its definition.
Reuse glossary terms between projects
Define and manage glossary terms in a base project and reuse them in all depending projects.
Zachman Framework
Organize business processes, business rules and designs with Zachman Enterprise Architecture Framework.
Business Motivation Model
Identify, capture and design organization motivation, vision, mission and strategy by industrial standard OMG Business Motivation Model (BMM).
Process statistic
Evaluate a business process in diagram and show the number of message flows, total process costs and total processing of hours of the process.
Configure diagram hotkey
Evaluate a business process in diagram and show the number of message flows, total process costs and total processing of hours of the process.
Import Visio ERD
Import your ERD drew in Microsoft Visio into VP-UML. After that, carry on with data modeling within VP-UML's ERD tool. Further to ERD editing, you can also export the resulting ERD to database or DDL.
