Convenient to draw diagrams for huge projects" 3.5/5 What do you like best about MagicDraw? Once you create objects for one diagram, it is easy to just drag and drop them from the window on the left. For example, in my software context class diagram, I created a profile diagram with all the stereotypes in it and just dragged and dropped those on my objects to attach that stereotype to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MagicDraw? while drawing interaction diagrams, I had to draw multiple messages on the same connection between 2 objects.

Recommendations to others considering MagicDraw: It is a really useful tool but it is a heavy software in terms of RAM.

I've been using MagicDraw for a few months now, and I am impressed with its csv import functionality and ability to generate sysml diagrams from multiple csv files.
