  • 3. Choose XAML from the Language drop down
  • 4. Choose MAUI from the Template drop down
  • 5. Choose the desired user interface diagram (or diagrams) in the left tree view
  • 6. Choose the output directory for the generated XAML source files
  • 7. Click on the Generate button to proceed and produce the files
