Can I define a data type in Class Diagram?

[George Wei]

Dear all,

I'm using Visio 2002. When I draw a Class Diagram (static structure
diagram), it provides only few standard data types for each language, how
can I define my types? Thanks.

Regards,
George

George,

Every Class, Datatype, or Interface you create in a model appears in the
list of available datatypes the Parameters Properties and other dialog boxes
display.

You can add any of these by dragging out a shape onto the diagram, of
course. If you don't want/need the actual shape, you can also choose New |
Class, New | Datatype, or New | Interface from the context menu of your
package (named Top Package by default) in the Model Explorer.

The Model Explorer also lets you add interfaces and datatypes to the builtin
datatype sets.
