Q1. Argo/UML will not run. What's wrong? |
Argo/UML has worked for hundreds of people and it can work for you. The most common problems are:
|
Q2. Which diagram types are supported? |
Argo/UML v0.6 supports class, use case, state, activity, and collaboration diagrams. Future versions are planned to support sequence, deployment, and other diagram types. To make a state machine diagram, you must have a class selected; that class will be the context of the state machine. To make an activity diagram, you must have a use case selected; that use case will be the context of the activity diagram. If you create a new class or use case diagram while a package is selected, the new diagram will be placed in the context of that package. |
Q3. How do I get an Argo/UML diagram into a word processor? |
There is no support for interacplication cut and paste in Argo/UML v0.6, however you can use standard screenshots to get a diagram into a word processor. For example, under MS Windows you can press Alt-PrintScreen to make a screenshot of the Argo/UML window. This screenshot is placed on the system clipboard and can be pasted into a word processor. You will probably want to crop the image after it is pasted. One way to get a better diagram screenshot is to "tear-off" the "As Diagram" tab from the main Argo/UML window by double clicking on the "As Diagram" tab. |
Q4. Can Argo/UML read or write Rational Rose files? |
No, but we do support XMI files. XMI is a new standard for interchanging UML models that commercial tool vendors shuld start supporting over the next year. |
