❔ How can I create a UML Class Diagram from an existing .NET 6 Project?
I have a project that has grown to a larger size than I had anticipated. I want to generate a UML Class Diagram so that I can inspect it further. I have followed this tutorial, but the option to add a class diagram is missing. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/class-designer/how-to-add-class-diagrams-to-projects?view=vs-2022
I installed the Class Designer. If I open the Visual Studio Installer via the Tools -> Get Tools and Features option, it says the Class Designer is installed.
All my projects target .NET 6.0 framework.
I have restarted my Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.
I have restarted my computer.

if you want to generate the diagram with vs you need enterprise version
you can run it for 30 days before it asks for money
Oh I had the professional edition
@dont I have downloaded the Enterprise edition and started my trial, but I still do not have the options.
Would anyone know what I am doing wrong? I don't think the Enterprise edition made much of a difference.
there's a generate diagram command
maybe in the solution explorer, i have to search where it's located
maybe from the architecture menu
or eventually you create an empty class diagram file and then drop the project into it
anyway after you create it my suggestion is to disable automatic placement because it drive you crazy
it should be this

there should be the generate code map command or something similar
