Is Not All diagrammed the same as Not Both? Thanks!

No they are not diagrammed similarly.
Let's take for instance: "Not all A are B."
This means that at least one A is not B, correct? And at least one means "some."
So we would diagram this: A-some-not B
Now let's think about a "not both" statement.
"At least one of A or B will be in, but not both."
So if A is in, then B is out and if B is in, A is out:
A ==> not B
B ==> not A
Then we have a third option of "either/or" with "not both."
"Either A or B is in, but not both."
We diagram this in two parts: "Either/or"
Not A ==> B
Not B ==> A
"Not both"
A ==> not B
B ==> not A
Hope that clears things up! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
