User Interface24:14
Explore the Enterprise Architect user interface, from the main menu and ribbons to the navigation bar and windows, and learn to save and manage workspaces and their layouts.
Projects and packages19:36
Create a new Enterprise Architect project, save it, and use the project browser to view the model root, packages, and initial elements like class and supplier.
Diagrams23:28
Create diagrams in Enterprise Architect by adding a UML class diagram, dragging elements, and linking them with generalization and association, while managing elements with properties, multiple additions, and filters.
How to create clear diagrams?20:35

Handling complex models20:32
Learn to navigate complex models by using context and diagram tabs, working sets, and model views like search folders and favorites.
Documents15:49
Learn to create and manage documents in Enterprise Architect using custom documents, templates, and the report builder to generate diagrams-heavy PDFs or Word reports with a dynamic table of contents.
Import/Export7:37
Export your Enterprise Architect models to accessible formats by generating HTML pages or XML exports, then import them into other projects to share diagrams and preserve read-only viewing for stakeholders.
Patterns8:05
Learn to create and apply model templates in enterprise architect, build organization charts from patterns, and export, import, and reuse diagram patterns to speed diagram creation.
