Google Docs and Drawings – Integration Guide

google-drive

I'm looking into creating a Google Docs "drawing" for the purpose of creating a basic UML diagram (without arrows, just lines) while collaborating with others. The problem I am having is that I can create

  • a box without text (shapes/box_image from dropdown menu)
  • text without a box (from the 'text box' menu (perhaps a misnomer))

However, I need text with a box.

If this is not possible with Google Docs, I would consider another collaborative method for creating UML diagrams. Google Docs is really best though because we already share many Google documents.
