Diagrams

A diagram is a graphical view of a model or a package. All models and packages have at least one diagram, and you can add additional diagrams as necessary. Objects can appear in multiple diagrams, and their symbols can show different kinds of information in each diagram.

For example, in a Publishing model, different diagrams could define the different activities involved in this industry: the printing diagram, the sales diagram, the accounting diagram, the book selection committee diagram.

When you save the model you also save all the diagrams it contains. You cannot save a diagram separately.

Note:

In requirements models (see Requirements Modeling), there are no diagrams, but rather views.
