Adding Node Elements to Diagram

You can add the existing node elements to the background of the UML Class diagram, using the context menu action, or drag-and-drop technique.

These elements are classes and notes.

If there are relationships between the node elements in model, and the added element, these relationships will be displayed in diagram.
