Class Diagram Types

Go Up to UML 2.0 Class Diagrams Index

There are two types of class diagrams used in Modeling:

• Package (namespace) diagrams. These diagrams are referred to as package diagrams in design projects, and namespace diagrams in implementation projects. They are stored as XML files in the ModelSupport_%PROJECTNAME% folder of the project group with the file extension .txvpck.
• Logical class diagrams. These diagrams are stored as XML files in the ModelSupport_%PROJECTNAME% folder of the project group with the file extension .txvcls.

Modeling automatically creates a default namespace diagram for the project and for each subdirectory under the project directory. The default project diagram is named default; the default namespace (package) diagrams are named after the respective namespaces (packages).

You create logical class diagrams manually by using the Add > Class Diagram or Add > Other Diagram command on the project context menu.
