Visio for architects: reverse engineering

[Oriane]

Hi there,

I've installed Visio for Software Architects (v 11) along with Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I've tried to "reverse engineer" three different projects C#/.NET and each time, although the generation of the VSD seems to be achieved correctly, the loading has generated errors like this on Visio:

UMLE00034: Generalization114[Generalization] : [Generalization - WFR1] - A generalizable element may only be a subclass of generalizable element of the same kind.


Any hint ?

Be aware not to have "." in the name of your VS project. Visio keeps only
the first name before the first point (it seem's to be a bug).
So if you have several project in your solution that begins with the same
root the reverse process cannot terminate because Visio try to convert two
project of the same name in the same uml visio file.

For example if you have a solution with :
MyProject.FirstApp1 for the name of one projet and
MyProject.FirstApp2 for a second project,

Visio will consider that there are two project named MyProject in the
solution.

Hope it can help.
