Visualstudio-docs: Is the Class Designer not available in .NET Core?

[rlundy]

If it is available, it would be great to have some documentation about how to find it, because Add New Item doesn't show it in a .NET Core MVC project.

@rlundy I contacted the engineering team and the answer is that Class Designer is not currently supported in .NET Core. You may get some stuff to work today but not in a supported state.

@gewarren, shame but thanks for your input!

I contacted the engineering team and the answer is that Class Designer is _not_ currently supported in .NET Core.

This issue is tracked here.

You may get some stuff to work today but not in a supported state.

To achieve this, edit a text or XML file with the _.cd_ extension, and replace its content with:

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