Visual Basic.NET code generation from Visio 2000 - is it possible

[Greg]

A training course I am taking talks about a selectable item from the Visio
2000 toolbar drop-down item "UML". this selectable item is called "Code" and
from there another option is "Generate" and from there another selectable
item is "target language" and then next "Visual Basic " and so forth and so
on - the goal being to generate .NET code from a UML class diagram created in
Visio 2000 or 2003. The problem is that the initial drop-down item does not
exist in my Visio 2000 or 2003 UML drop-down list. Does this code generation
functionality actually exist and I have not setup Visio correctly or is the
Microsoft training course have some flaw as to the actual existence of Visio
functionality ?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Code generation from UML is a feature of both Visio 2000 Enterprise Edition
and Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect Edition (which is based on the
Visio 2002 product). It is not available in Visio 2003 Professional
Edition.
