HOWTO: include one class diagram in another (Visio 2007)

[StefanM]

Hi,

I have to document a number of source code files containing class
definitions. Is it possible to create an extra Visio class diagramm
for every source file and then include the diagram file in another
class diagram? I'm using Visio 2007 Professional SP2.

Thanks,
Stefan

Visio Professional 2007 has the ability to work with Visual Studio 2005 in
order to reverse engineer code in Visual C++, Visual C#, or Visual Basic
projects, class definitions then create a UML Static structure models in the
Model explorer. When you have Visual Studio 2005 with Visio Professional 2007
installed on the same computer you should have an add-on that allows you to
reverse engineer code into a Visio drawing. However I think each time you run
the add-on it creates a different drawing but you might be able to open the
multiple drawings side by side and simply drag top package on to the drawing
page. When this is done it should add the package to the model explorer.
