Class Diagrams in VS 2017

Question

I have been using VS 2015 and like the Class Diagram item. I recently upgraded to 2017 and can\'t seem to find the Class Diagram item. Anyone know how I get to it?

Answer 1

Noticed this in the beta and thought I had a bad install. The UI elements to add new Class Diagrams were missing and I was unable to open existing *.cd Class Diagram files in my solutions. Just upgraded to 2017 and found the problem remains. After some investigation it seems the Class Designer component is no longer installed by default.

Re-running the VS Installer and adding the Class Designer component restores both my ability to open and edit Class Diagrams as well as the UI elements needed to create new ones
