Features

edit

NClass supports only class diagram of the standard UML diagram types.

The user interface is designed to be simple and user friendly, and the visualization of diagrams is configurable via a style system. NClass can generate source code from the model or reverse engineer .NET assemblies by a plugin written by Malte Ried. It can also export to many image formats like JPEG, Portable Network Graphics (PNG), or Windows Metafile.

Future development

edit

NClass is missing several major features like undo or round-trip engineering which are frequently requested. These features are planned to be implemented in long-term development.
