Thanks
For Visual Studio 2017, 2019 and 2022
This feature is still available, but it is NOT installed by default, you have to install it separately.
- From inside Visual Studio go to Tools -> Get Tools and Features
- Select the Individual components tab and search for Class Designer
- Check this Component and Install it
After finish installing this component
- Right-click on the project and select Add -> Add New Item A. Search for 'class' word and NOW you can see Class Diagram component
Very Important Update From the Comments below
- Right-clicking on a folder and selecting
Add New Item
will NOT show theClass Diagram
option - Not every project type will support
Class Diagram
For example,
Right-clicking onClass Library
project and selectingAdd New Item
will DO showClass Diagram
options
But Right-clicking onASP.NET
project and selectingAdd New Item
will NOT showClass Diagram
options
