Access your models faster than ever
You can filter the tree view by keyword and model types. This gets you to access the model you want faster than ever.
Enhanced Auto-diagram creation
Now you can auto-generate a class diagram for an entire set of packages you import.
This helps you to grasp the model structure through a clear and detailed diagram you create with fewer clicks.
Learn how
Make your diagrams
more expressive with SVG
Now you can use SVG image files for:
Customizable Line Jumps
You can choose the line jump style between Arc and Gap that will fit your diagrams better.
Also, you can turn on/off the line jump for each line individually from its pop-up menu.
New Auto-layout to keep your diagram clean
Now you can choose how you want to re-align the layout vertically or horizontally.
Try from [Alignment] – [Auto Layout].
Better Skeleton Generator
Astah used to replace the entire source code files every time you generate code. Since this version, you can update your source code files keeping the previous modification you have made any changes directly.
Easy upload of Stereotype icons
Now you can upload multiple images or .zip files for stereotype custom icons!
