Are there any tools that would allow me to easily create an interactive architectural diagram?
I envisage the ability to view a graphical depiction of the architecture at a high level. I would then be able to click on a specific piece of the architecture and drill into it, thus revealing a more detailed break-down of that piece. This process could then continue for as many levels as necessary.
Does anyone know of any tools that allow me to create this kind of experience? Or should I perhaps try to achieve this with Visio/Powerpoint?
We use Sparx EA (Enterprise Architect).
One of the “export” options is an “HTML Report” which works in the manner you’re after.
You can zip up the resulting files and send to someone else who can then ‘browse’ the model.
