I guess one thing with our environment is since we are limited to our framework their tends to not really be much changes in the layout of things. Guess really just a handful of models could work for all projects with just a few name changes.

To Aaron....Generating the CFC structure is fine - but what happens when you change (re-factor) the design? Beyond that initial "prototyping" of the object's structure, it has been my experience that the design tools begin to fail. So you are then left with a manual job. So, I find it easier to say that the "build" process is a manual one from the first instance. In our development environment we ensure the designs are up to date before actually changing the code (other than possibly modelling the revised concept first).But, of course, it is up to everyone to find what works for them.Regards,Gary----------------------------------------------------------

generating tool I personally use is ERWin for modeling Oracle
databases. I find I spend more time in the application tweaking the
design so it generates the correct code, then if I just wrote it by
hand. However, management loves pictures, especially when printed on a
plotter.
The biggest problem with the tools I've used is what was mentioned
earlier. It works great on the initial build, but becomes an obstacle
when updating. My ERDs quickly become out of date because the software
does a poor job of version management. When I say poor job, I mean it
doesnt do anything at all. It generates everything... not just the
changes made since version x.
btw. did Adalon ever come out with a version that supported CFCs? I
mean they had been promising it for a long time; so long that I gave
up waiting.
