Creating Node Elements and Members

UML;create class;delete class

You can populate your model with node elements and delete them from diagram, or from your project. When a node element is created in a UML Class diagram, the corresponding stub file is created in the current package.

In a similar way, PhpStorm helps create members in the node elements.

It is also possible to clarify the contents of diagrams with notes, which are created same way.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the diagram background. Next, on the context menu, point to New, and choose element type from the submenu.
    • Press Alt+Insert, and choose element type from the pop-up frame.
  2. Specify the element name, or type the contents of a note, and click OK.
