Is it necessary about UML graphic ?

Martin.Cheng asked:

Hi all:
I had a confusion and I am eager for helping~
I have just entered a new team and working with them.
The project they done is quite huge and complex. The trouble thing is there is no document and arch graphic there.
At the beginning I should got the general idea about the project system.
Should I make the UML class graphic ? It 's useful for learning the whole project and make it clear, isn't it ?
By the way, should I use the specific tools like "MS visio" or pen and paper ?
Actually I don't have make doc or graphic before even it 's necessary I heard
