<div>Hi All</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will be using Smartdraw for the tool. I hvae found it to be useful for network diagrams etc in the past. Also there is a tutorial about UML and smart draw at <a href="http://www.smartdraw.com/resources/tutorials/uml-diagrams/">http://www.smartdraw.com/resources/tutorials/uml-diagrams/</a> I have found this to be quote useful in getting my head around the UML concept </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">I have a small y12 class that insists on doing SD next year. I have taught ITA for quite sometime now. I have used a nifty little drawing tool called CADE for network diagrams in y11 and y12. Wondering how useful it is for UML?</span></p>
