Steps

  1. Create a new board for your UML diagram

  2. Use rectangles to represent classes or components

  3. Divide rectangles into sections for attributes and methods

  4. Add connectors between classes to show relationships

  5. Use different connector styles for inheritance, composition, and association

  6. Add text annotations for relationship labels and multiplicities

  7. Organize classes by layer (presentation, business logic, data)

  8. Use color to distinguish between entity types

  9. Group related classes together in containers

  10. Export as SVG for use in documentation

Notes

  • UML requires precise notation for proper communication

  • Consider using templates that include standard UML elements

  • Document relationship types clearly with labels
