For each set of objects you want to represent, drag a Multi-Object shape onto the drawing page. Multi-Object shape. Indicate links between the objects by connecting them using Association Role shapes. Learn more about Association Role shapes. Create an association role path in a collaboration diagram.
In a collaboration diagram, drag an Association Role shape near the two Classifier Role or Multi-Object shapes you want to create a path between. Glue the endpoints of the Association Role shape to connection points on the two shapes you want to connect with a path.
Tip: To indicate an association role path from a classifier role to itself, glue the two endpoints of a U-shaped Association Role shape to two connection points on the same classifier role.
Double-click each Association Role shape to open the UML Association Role Properties dialog box, where you can add a name, a message flow, a message label, multiplicity, and other property values. Add a message to an association role in a collaboration diagram. In a collaboration diagram, double-click the Association Role shape to which you want to add a message. Click New. Type a name and sequence expression.
Choose the stereotype, direction, and flow kind you want. For a flat message or procedure call, click Properties. Select the operation you want the message to generate. If the operation doesn't exist, click New to create it. For an asynchronous message, choose the signal you want the message to generate. If no reception for the signal exists on the classifier that the object lifeline receiving the message is based on, click New to create the reception.
Visio Premium Visio Visio More Place an Activation bar shape on a lifeline to show when and for how long that object or participant is active in the process. Typically, there will be arrows going to and from an activation box to demonstrate the flow of information. Destruction indicates when an object or actor is done participating in a system. A large X appears at the end of its lifeline.
To show destruction of an object in a diagram:. For more information, contact your Microsoft admin. If your admin has turned on "self-service purchasing," you can buy a license for Visio yourself. For more details, see Self-service purchase FAQ. Open Visio for the web.
The first item in the row represents a blank template plus the companion stencil. The other items in the row are sample diagrams that have some shapes already drawn to help you get started quickly. In the Model Explorer tree view, right-click the package in which you want to include the static structure diagram, point to New , and click Sequence Diagram. A blank page appears, and the UML Sequence stencil becomes the top-most stencil. An icon representing the diagram is added to the tree view.
Use an Object lifeline shape for each participant and system component in your process. An object lifeline represents the existence of an object at a particular time. If the object is created or destroyed during the time period the diagram represents, the lifeline stops or starts at the appropriate point. An object's destruction is marked with a large X. Use a Lifeline shape to show conditionality on an object lifeline.
The message shape you choose depends upon the kind of message you want to send regular, asynchronous, procedure call, or return. Glue the message endpoint without the arrowhead to a connection point on the lifeline of the object sending the message. Glue the message endpoint with the arrowhead to a connection point on the lifeline of the object receiving the message. Double-click the message, and then type or choose the message name, stereotype, sequence expression, and flow kind.
For a flat message or procedure call, choose the operation you want the message to generate. If the operation doesn't exist, click New to create it. For an asynchronous message, choose the signal you want the message to generate.
If no reception for the signal exists on the classifier that the object lifeline receiving the message is based on, click New to create the reception. Tip: To indicate a message from an object to itself, glue the two endpoints on an arc-shaped Message shape to two connection points on the same object lifeline.
If one or more interactions require a condition to be met to end the interaction, enclose those interactions in one of the constraint shapes:. A Constraint is a specification for conditions and propositions that must be maintained as true for the system to be valid. Drag the control handle at the center of the Constraint shape and glue it to a connection point on another element. A 2-element Constraint applies to two elements, such as two classes or two associations. An OR Constraint indicates that any instance of a class may participate in only one association at one time.
The constraint is shown as a dashed line connecting two or more associations, which must have a class in common. You can refine the diagrams in later stages to reflect user interface and design details.
Create a UML use case diagram. Use a communication diagram to show which elements in a system interact with other elements in terms of sequenced messages. Create a UML communication diagram. Create a UML database notation diagram. Diagrams made with the Model Explorer were locked against editing and some formatting.
Beginning with Visio Professional, there is no Model Explorer. You simply drag the shapes from the stencils provided. The shapes are unlocked and more flexible, so you can change their behavior if needed. Drawings are also more customizable, yet they still meet the UML standard. We're sorry, but this also means that if you have a drawing created with Model Explorer, you can't work with it in newer versions of Visio that don't include Model Explorer.
In Visio for the web, you can choose from nine types of UML diagram types and numerous sample diagrams that have some shapes already drawn on the canvas. Each choice comes with a stencil that matches the type of diagram you select. For more information, contact your Microsoft admin. If your admin has turned on "self-service purchasing," you can buy a license for Visio yourself.
For more details, see Self-service purchase FAQ. Use a static structure diagram in Visio to create class diagrams that decompose a software system into its parts. In the early stages of a development project, use a use case diagram to describe real-world activities and motivations. You can refine the diagram in later stages to reflect user interface and design details. Use static structure diagrams to create conceptual diagrams that represent concepts from the real world and the relationships between them, or class diagrams that decompose a software system into its parts.
Create a UML static structure diagram. Use package diagrams to group related elements in a system. One package can contain subordinate packages, diagrams, or single elements.
Create a UML package diagram. Create a UML statechart diagram. Use a collaboration diagram to show relationships among object roles such as the set of messages exchanged among the objects to achieve an operation or result.
Create a UML collaboration diagram. Network, software, database. Class diagrams Use a class diagram to make a general model of the structure of an application that specifies the system's classes, its attributes and methods, and the relationships between objects.
