UML modeling tool for Tablet PCs (Tablet UML)
Hello!
There is Tablet UML, a UML tool designed for Tablet PCs. You can just draw various diagrams directly on the tablet with your pen and also enter associated text and the tool converts your drawings in a structured UML model. While I think that’s not necessarily the best approach for long design sessions on your own it is probably great if you sit together with a coworker or client and try to capture the essence of some use case or object interaction e.g.
Unfortunately, they seem to support export only to images, not to other UML tools. From what I have seen on their website Tablet UML seems to be a bit low on features compared to mainstream UML tools like Enterprise Architect or MagicDraw (e.g. no support for code generation and reverse engineering). I think the most useful way to use Tablet UML is for interactive design sessions and later import of the model fragments into a more comprehensive modeling tool. Unfortunately, this approach seems not to be supported. I think they would benefit from offering AddIns for popular UML modeling tools that allow the (repeated/incremental) merge of Table UML models into other tools.
Nevertheless it sure fills a gap for those that have a Tablet PC.
Best regards,
Andreas
