SYMPTOMS
When you try to add a class diagram to a project that is based on C++ in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the Class Diagram option may not appear in the Template pane of the Add New Item dialog box.

Note You do not experience this problem with projects that are based on Microsoft Visual C# .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, or Microsoft Visual J# .NET.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Class Designer in Visual Studio 2005 does not support projects that are based on C++.
