One neat approach which neither requires enterprise edition nor VS at all and is free and customizable is the extension for VS Code named "CSharp to PlantUML"

You can find the repo here: https://github.com/pierre3/PlantUmlClassDiagramGenerator

You can export the generated plantUML file to SVG, PDF, PNG, and several other formats.

Please follow the steps below:

  1. Start Visual Studio Installer, click "Single Component", "Code Tools", and check "Class Designer".

  2. Right-click the project to be viewed, select "View", "View Class Diagram" or right-click the project, select Add, New Item, and create a new class diagram.

  3. Finally, drag the project into the class diagram to generate the class diagram.
