I am in the somewhat enviable position of being able to purchase tools that I need for my job as long as I can justify them. So, on the flipside of the earlier post asking about free tools, I would like to see some opinions on what everyone thinks is the best "pay" tool. It can be shareware or payware. I'm just looking for some options on the best tool I can get for doing UML modeling and having those models turned into code (well, at least code templates that I can then modify).
Thanks in advance.

Don't know about generating code from UML (I don't find this idea to be very persuasive). For doing UML on the whiteboard, you might want to take a look at http://www.websterboards.com/products/wbp.html though.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

I think Rational Rose supports code generation.

As I know, I find some tools that can automatically draw the UML from the coding,but not inverse,such as JBuilder.
When we design the classes, we know the attributes and the properties first,then coding it. Actually, we type the code from the previous design.
I find M$ Visio can draw the UML, but I do not know whether it can convert to coding or not,if it can, I think that it can only convert to VB,C++or C#.

I don't think MS Visio converts to UML.
You can also draw architectural plans for buildings with Visio.It is that flexible.
You might be able to extract UML from VB Enterprise Architect , which I think is Microsoft's answer to Eclipse.

Pradeep is right that Rational Rose supports code generation. IBM has some plug-ins for Java code.

Rational Rose is a great product and it supports auto-code generation.

Ar...
Firstly, the M$ Visio can draw the UML, then convert to coding that is I can confirm.
But it does not like JBuilder that type the coding first then convert to UML.
