Automate Building Plan Import Data Addon

[Tim Nash]

I need some help locating parameters for the Import Data addon. I am
attempting to automate the import data process (Tools, add-ons, building
plan, Import Data)
I have found that it calls the add on "FMImport" or "Import data" But have
been completly unable to find any parameters for this addon. Any assistance
would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Nash,

Microsoft/Visio don't publish the command arguments to many of their
add-ons, because "they could and have changed from version to version"

You can investigate menu items via Visio's UI Object Model and see which
arguments are being called.

....I need to write an article or produce a tool...

Your best bet would be to use the Data Linking feature in Visio 2007
Professional since it does come with an API that you can call.
