Is there an alternative to generate a class diagram from an existing model in an ASP .NET Core project?

I found an article about how design and view classes and types with Class Designer.

But it is written that Class Designer is not available in .NET Core projects.

What is the best alternative ? (if an alternative exist in Visual Studio)

Hi @yagush-6858,

Is there an alternative to generate a class diagram from an existing model in an ASP .NET Core project?

This is a known issue, as a workaround, from the New File dialog box create a plain XML named Diagram.cd (replace Diagram with your choice), right click the file and select "Open With...", and select "XML (Text) Editor", then replace its contents with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>  
<ClassDiagram MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="1">  
  <Font Name="Segoe UI" Size="9" />  
</ClassDiagram>

Then, save it and reopen the project normally it should work now. Like this:
