    Hi, Does anybody remember the plastic flowchart stencils we used to use back in the old days to draw shapes on paper ? Any idea where I can get one but for UML ? I thought I saw one but now I want one I can't find anything like it. Was it just a wierd dream due to sitting infront of visio for too long. Users. Can't live with 'em, can't kill em!

        Yes, the time-warp is called the UK university system. The reason I want one is that I am studying an MSc and I have to draw UML diagrams on paper for part of the exam. At work I would just use a CASE tool but .... Users. Can't live with 'em, can't kill em!

          I guess you could make your own - just organise all the UML symbols onto a page, print it out, laminate it, then cut out the shapes with a scalpel You might not be allowed to take that into an exam, though, so probably worth checking. If you are, then you could make a bit of beer money selling them to all your classmates :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

            This is far from being what you want, but I just did a quick search on the interweb and came up with some stencils you can buy for men's eyebrows[^]. Handy if you've had an accident with a roll of sticky-tape.

              Remember, I still use it! It's made by Helix, maybe they make them for UML http://www.millers-art.co.uk/acatalog/Helix_Stencils.html[^]

                  [EDIT] Sorry, I didn't see the reply already suggesting this as it was on the next page. I like the beer money suggestion! Just print the visio shapes arranged the way you want, then get some thin plastic and cut your own using the printed page as a template. -- modified at 13:22 Thursday 9th February, 2006
