If you're a Lucidchart user, you may be familiar with their UML sequence markup tool based on PlantUML. To make transitioning to SmartDraw easier, SmartDraw will now import any markup you've created in Lucidchart and generate an identical sequence diagram from your existing code.
Simply save your markup in Lucidchart as a text file and open a UML Sequence Diagram data visualizer in SmartDraw.
UML Sequence Diagram Data Visualizer
To start, find the UML Sequence Diagram data visualizer under the Plus menu (represented by the + icon). Select the Data Visualizers category and click on UML Sequence Diagram.
Drag and drop your file to the dialog or click to browse for it on your system.
Once your file is loaded and parsed, you can click Import to build your diagram.
The generated diagram acts like any other diagram you would have created in SmartDraw. You can edit text, shapes, colors, add or delete shapes as needed.
