         4. Message Window.

         5. Log Window.

   

1. View Table:

• It contains:

     a. Use case view.

     d. Deployment view.

a. Use case view:   

In this view we can draw two diagrams:
     1. Use case diagram.
     2. Activity Diagram.
Steps to draw diagram:

1. Select use case view and then right click on use case view.

c. Component view:    

• In this view we can model:

    a. Component Diagram.
To draw the diagram:     

1. Select component view and then click on the component view.
2. Select New, in that select component diagram.
