I haven't tried it yet, but Visual UML is used by many Fox people. It knows Fox, which should make it a good choice.


>What experience have people had with modeling tools? Rational Rose is absurdly expensive for an independent developer, and unless absolutely desperate, I can't see forking out that kind of cash. There are literally dozens of others (see http://www.objectsbydesign.com/tools/umltools_byCompany.html) ranging in price from $0 to about $4,000. There are a handful under $100.

Sometimes you get what you pay for, but sometimes you can find a genuinely great tool for a great price (as I've found in Help Authoring Tools). I'd like to hear anybody's experiences.

I'm certain that I want sequence diagram capability, and preferably sequence diagrams which interact with the class diagrams to add properties and methods.
