I'll be honest, I dont' know what CASE tools are, but if you are talking UML/OO etc.. then I have been doing this for years. I am currently using dia to produce all my UML diagrams for my thesis.. I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you mean, but it's similar to visio ;)..
UML/OO is similiar to CASE, I think, the lecturer hasn't really explained things in great details, as to what he means.
Thanks

visio is one of those products that M$ bought rather than created
so if you get
to try it you may find its UI more photoshop than MS word.
I am currently trying out troff's box macros for the same job, what
is latex
like for data flow diagrams?
