Custom Diagram
A Custom diagram is an extended Class diagram that is used to capture requirements, user interfaces or custom-design models.
Custom models provide a few extensions to the UML model and enable some exploratory and non-rigorous experimentation with model elements and diagrams. You generate Custom diagram elements and connectors from the 'Custom' pages of the Diagram Toolbox.
