Altova UModel is an easy-to-use UML modeling tool. Visually design application models and generate Java, C# or VB.NET code and project documentation. Altova UModel Professional Edition also lets you reverse engineer existing programs into UML 2.1 diagrams then fine tune your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code. UModel makes visual software design practical for any project.

The following editions are available:

• Altova UModel 2012 Professional - Installed Users
• Altova UModel 2012 Professional - Concurrent Users

Updates in 2012

• JDBC database driver support - In addition to ODBC and ADO drivers, UModel 2012 supports JDBC database drivers for database modeling. Users who acquire UModel as part of the Altova MissionKit can be assured of consistent functionality across products.
• Visual alignment guides - UModel 2012 includes the same new horizontal and vertical alignment guides described in the MapForce section above. These guides permit users to quickly align elements in any UML, SysML, BPMN, or database diagram by dragging them in the drawing pane as an alternative to the Layout toolbar.
• New Java API - The same features of the new Java API described above in the XMLSpy section are available in UModel 2012, allowing Java developers to directly access the Java API. New UModel 2012 API examples demonstrate API functionality much more extensively for all programming languages.
