Add pattern support in the UML editor.

Common design patterns can be added to a diagram from a patterns menu

new patterns could also be added by the user

patterns could categorised by the type of pattern

Hi,
Can you please give us some more information about what you would like to see. I’ll note this feature request down.

[Stephen Eaton]

Thanks for that.

I’ve previously used Togethersofts UML Editor (now Borlands) and that has a great feature that when in a class diagram you could select a pre-defined design pattern and drag it onto the the screen. For example If I wanted to add the Factory pattern to my design I would select in the tool bar “Design Patterns | Creation | Factory” and drag this onto my design. This would create the required classes and associations for this design pattern, you then go on to tailor to suit your design.

Or I might want to add the command pattern, so I would select “Design Patterns | Behavioural | Command” and so on.

It would be great to also modify existing and to add new ones.

Hope this helps,

Stephen…

Thank you for the additional information. I’ll add this to the enhancement request that I have already filed.
