So, it is possible to add a new type of UML representations or to combine the UML standard with more specific modeling approaches to a domain. This new version, the first one based on Sirius, improves the customization capabilities with profiles, the UML standard mechanism to bring extensibility. A web portal has also been created to ease the access to the documentation available: tutorials, user guide, developer guide, advanced documentation, etc. To learn more about UML Designer: http://www.umldesigner.org/...
