I haven’t tested it against 2.3, but Railroad can do what you’re asking for: [http://railroad.rubyforge.org/](http://railroad.rubyforge.org/) –Matt J. On Mar 19, 3:23 pm, Isaac Amaru Zelaya O. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

I think you may be out of luck - I’ve never heard of anybody doing such a thing. Given that modern UML has special notations for various language features (anonymous inner classes in Java, for instance), it may not even be possible with some of the metaprogramming stuff going on in Rails. For instance, how would UML represent an association proxy, or the method\_missing stuff that ActiveRecord uses? Out of curiosity, why on earth would such a diagram be needed? Surely there’s a better reason than “management said so”… –Matt J. On Mar 27, 12:15 pm, Isaac Amaru Zelaya O. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---
