How do you lay out your AF projects?

Fab just put me onto this tool, which is really cool.

Unfortunately, it only does sequence diagrams but is way easier than Visio.

Thanks all for the tips. I picked up the UML book and will be reading it soon.

Taggart, that tool is going to be very helpful sketching things out without using a whole ream of paper 🙂

One question though, how do I finish a line without accepting a tooltip? Say I write a note; my last line would be "end note" but it tries to suggest "note over". Pressing Enter accepts the autocomplete, as does tab. How do I just "finish" typing? I must be missing something simple.

It's not ideal, but just click with the mouse and then hit enter.  Maybe there is an easier way?

I've had a lot of luck using RealTimeBoard as a sketchpad for building out flowcharts/UML-esque diagrams and such. Its easier to modify than paper and provides a bunch of neat features for me to annotate the design as I revise it.

Hello,

I'm using 2 free tools :

- https://www.planttext.com/

- https://www.draw.io/

These tools can be used online but often the  first step is a whiteboard with lots of color pen.
