Filter in Tree
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-creation of Class Diagrams
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.

Insert SVG images to diagrams
Now you can use SVG image files for inserting directly into diagrams.
Read User GuideCustomize jump lines
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.
Improved Auto-Layout
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 keep the modification if you have directly made any changes to the source code earlier. So Astah only updates the rest.
Relocate Association name
You can relocate the Association name back to the middle of the Association line.
