Why doesn't the software stencil appear in Visio?

[stevewallone]

I'd like to create a UML diagram in Visio 2003, but the stencil is not there.
Why?

A few things to check:

1. You have Visio 2003 *Professional* (see: Help > About)
2. Try starting with a template: File > New > Software. Uml drawing should
be there.
3. Re-install Visio and make sure you didn't uncheck some of the content.

Thanks Chris! I was using the Standard version. That clears things up.

There are UML stencils for Visio available that do not require Visio
standard. Some are listed at
