VS2003

In VS2003 when I choose Vision UML -> Reverse Engineer, Visual Studio reports
"Exporting UML model to Visio..."
"Reverse engineering succeeded."
Then Visio is launched, but there is nothing. No UML diagrams are there.
File is about 1.5MB big but when opened contains no drawings.

Why would VS2003 and Visio both declare success and then produce nothing.
Is there some registry setting or something else which is wrong. I even
tried fixdotnet installation but it didn't make any difference.
What is the secret to this feature working. I paid lots of $$ for the tools.

per following pointer the drawing is not automated.....

"Now your project information should be in Visio 200X. In order to create
the UML class diagrams, drag-and-drop model elements from the UML Navigator
onto the Static Structure diagram. The class relationships (generalization,
realization, binding) will be displayed automatically. With the Visio UML
Model Diagram Solution, you can create additional UML artifacts to specify,
construct, visualize, and document your software project."

this from visio help

"In the Visual Studio environment, reverse engineering is activated from a
command on the Project menu. Information from the code model is extracted,
Visio is launched, and reverse-engineered elements of your code appear as
icons in the tree view of the Visio UML Model Explorer. You can then drag
UML class shapes that reflect class definitions in the source code onto a
drawing page to visualize the architecture of the new or legacy solution."

Thanks Al.

The Model View window was not appearing by default and an empty grid was
visible. So I thought it didn't do anything. Now I manually launched the
Model View and I do see the model in Visio. I can now create the drawing.
Thanks.

Hi all,

I recently installed Visio 2003 and tried Reverse Engineering.
Reverse engineering seems to work partially. The class relationships
(dependency, composition, aggregation etc.. ) are not displayed after
dragging the classes from Navigator to the Static Structure Diagram. Does
anybody know if this feature is available in Visio 2003? Do I need some type
of setup. For example in Visio 2000 it tells you to set up Visual Basic
Project Settings to Generate browse info. but I did not find this type of
setting in .NET framework.

Thanks in advance

I've try reverse engineering with visual studio 2003. It works and the class
relation ship are drawned.
Do you use Visio 2003 professional version ?
