Those days were a decade ago, and everyone with a license to software like Enterprise Architect did that already with a click of a button.
Even before that this was at the reach of everyone with FLOSS tools like Umbrella.

Which is anyone more than few months into any project developed by multiple people. I continue to be amazed at how our entire field claims to consider code readability paramount, and yet invests approximately zero effort into making codebases legible.
