I'm writing an Add-In to Visio 2010 in Studio 2010 on C#. I need to read a diagram currently opened in Visio. I know how to read shapes of the diagram. The question is if I have a shape object, which properties can give me coordinates of the shape on the page and other shapes (if any), the current one is connected with, if I have a connector object, which properties can give me shapes it connects and direction of the connection. Connections in Visio are handled through Connect objects. Each shape has a collection of incoming connect objects and outgoing connect objects. Their names are

Visio 2003 uses UML 1.4, which means that some stereotypes from UML 2.0 simply don't exist, and they need to be modeled by freehand drawing (I may as well be using Photoshop). Does anyone know of an update from Microsoft or an addon to include UML 2.0 (complete - not just class diagrams) in Visio 2003? I found this package: http://www.sdl.sandrila.co.uk/ but judging by their "example" screenshots, I'm going to stay away. If they don't know how to use UML, I'd be surprised if they could implement it correctly ;) This set of Visio stencils and templates for UML 2.0 is excellent: http:/

I have created a database model in Visio Professional (2003). I know that the Enterprise version has the ability to create a DB in SQL Server based on the data in Visio. I do not have the option to install Enterprise. Aside from going through the entire thing one table and relationship at a time and creating the whole database from scratch, by hand, can anyone recommend any tool/utility/method for converting the visio database model into a SQL Script that can be used to create a new DB in SQL Server? I have not done this, but here it goes. Convert Visio file to Visio XML format. Use Dia for

I have Visio2007 and I really like it. However, it doesn't seem to have UML model/datatypes for Java. Is there some template I can download for Java? Or should I just forget about Visio altogether and get an Elipse plugin? Thanks! The latter is a better option, IMHO. Further, I don't think UML Models should be specific to Java. I am not aware of, if there are any java-specific UML, around. I found this while searching over the net. UML Models: MS Visio 2007 . user276646 I had the same question, but then I messed around with it until I figured it out. Now, bear with me; this is the first time I

This one has me stumped regularly while creating top level class diagrams for documentation. Methods and attributes/fields are easy to model. I usually end up adding a method named EvChanged to indicate a .Net event Changed. What is the right way to show that a type publishes a specific event? Just add an «event» stereotype to a classifier attribute. I find onEventName() the easiest naming scheme for event callbacks, but how to indicate which events an object can broadcast I've not found any solution. An extended UML class diagram that would allow for customized containers (besides the

I've been using NClass for object/class modeling in class thus far. However, I do not believe that it is capable of sequence diagrams, which is my next task. I would prefer not to use Visio. Is there a good and free software solution for making sequence diagrams? For me there are usually about 3 tools I prefer to use. Netbeans UML Plugin (Its free and its nice) Visual Paradigm UML (its really nice but it isn't free, you might be able to get a free academic copy, but that requires a bit of work Visio (I Know you said you didn't like it, but it works) There is www.websequencediagrams.com that is
