You can thus convert the uxf-format (an XML dialect) to various file formats, e.g., for you LaTeX workflow. It provides simple batch processing on the command line. Without leaving UMLet, users can thus create and add new graphical element types.

You can even modify the palettes as if you'd edit a normal diagram - no more icon guessing. Just double-click on any element and tweak the clone. It lets users learn about UML elements of various complexity by providing palettes of many element variants as templates or prototypes. Even the direction or type of a relation is changed with just a few keystrokes. It uses a pop-up-free, markdown-based way of quickly editing elements. UMLet main goal is to allow users to sketch UML (and other) diagrams fast. The stand-alone version has the most extensive feature set here is a brief tutorial video.Įarly UML tools were often a bit cumbersome - they relied on pop-up windows to set attributes, and aimed at model consistency up to an ever-allusive round-trip engineering.
