The rest of the process will progress without any additional assistance on your side. Click the Install button once you’re ready and wait for the installation to finish.

At the end of the setup, you’ll be able to toggle the program to launch automatically. If you did, you should be facing its main window. As you can see, you can start building your design right from the start. There’s no profile creation, or other types of unnecessary configuration required.

Create UML diagrams easily

If you ever used Microsoft Office before, Edraw UML Diagram will feel very familiar. That’s because it brings the same ribbon interface that lets you move through feature categories in an instant. You just need to choose the category you want to work with from the top of the screen.

The toolbar will adjust according to your selection, letting you access an extensive collection of features without cluttering them on a single toolbar. There’s also a tutorial that can help you increase your efficiency of working with Edraw UML Diagram. Click the Tutorial button in the top-right corner of the screen to access it.

How to create a UML diagram

If you want to begin building your diagram, just select a template you’re comfortable with and start from there. Customize its title, fields, and components according to your needs and you’ll see it shape up in no time.

Note that Edraw UML Diagram supports a wide variety of diagrams, such as COM and OLE, data flow model, Booch OOD, Jackson, Jacobson, ROOM, SHlaer-Mellor OOA, SSADM, Yourdon and Coad, and UML Use case. You just have to decide whichever one works best in your situation.

Export UML diagrams to various formats

After you’re done designing your diagram, you need to export it to a more popular format. Note that Edraw UML Diagram exports to EDDX (proprietary format) as default, and there’s pretty much nothing you can do with this format if you don’t own the program that could open it.

However, Edraw UML Diagram allows you to export your diagrams to a wide variety of formats, increasing the compatibility of your projects. Some of the formats this tool can export to are PNG, PDF, HTML, WMF, SVG, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, VSDX, TIF, GIF, and JPG.

How to configure Edraw UML Diagram

If you’re the tinkerer type, you won’t be exactly thrilled to discover Edraw UML Diagram’s configuration window. This program only lets you adjust a bunch of options, and they’re not exactly thrilling, either.

The only configuration categories available in the Options window are View, General, Snap & Glue, and Quick Access Toolbar. For instance, you can change the default measurement unit, default page size, page color, grid color, number of undoing level, autosave interval, component snapping options, and quick access toolbar buttons.

To sum it up, if you’re looking for an efficient UML diagram designer, Edraw UML Diagram is definitely what you’re looking for. It provides you with a broad range of diagram templates (not only for UML ones) and can export your project to a broad range of formats.

More so, it has an Office-like interface that you can grow quickly accustomed to and lets you configure some of its default settings. Edraw UML Diagram can handle both U.S. and Metric units and provides you with a handy tutorial if you get stuck while using it.
