I have been using Visio 2003 on Windows XP for generation of UML diagrams. I have encountered following problems so far:

  • There is no way to generate/print the documentation written for class attributes/methods.
  • No automatic code generation is supported

I have already generated lot of diagrams and i discovered above problems at much later stage. Now i would like to overcome above by choosing another tool which is compatible with Visio file(.vsd) which saves time or redrawing all diagrams and also provides above features. Could you kindly suggest an alternative (visio compatible) tool ?

(I have looked at a similar SU-question, but it does not suggest tools which provide solution to above problems. I am open to free as well as licensed tools, with priority to free :) )

Thanks,

James
