VisioR 2003 UML To XMI Export

Has anyone been able to import the xmi export file this tool generates into any other tool I have tried pulling Visio Use case diagrams into XDE, Sparx 4.1, and now Sparx 6.0 with zero luck.

Are there any plans to upgrade this add-in to export xmi 1.1, 1.2, etc The 1.0 version it exports is not support with the rest of the tools (XDE and Sparx) on the market I am currently using.

    To address your questions:

    • The main purpose of the tool was to provide a mechanism to export model data (from class diagrams) into an xml file which you can programmatically access.
      There is no other extension mechanism to access model data from UML diagrams.
      Because each vendor has interpreted and implemented xmi import/export in their own way.
      So, it comes to no surprise you are incurring in some interoperability issues.
    • No, there are no plans to upgrade this tool at this point.

    This is yet another example of a half-a$$ed approach to tools by MS -

    This should be considered a priority.

    Hi everyone!

    Is it possible to export use case diagrams too I try to modify the sample code but is quite complex to find a solution.

    Is there a way to build the sample under VS6

    If I understand your question correctly...

    It would have value any time you need to process the metadata associated with that model. For example, looking for interoperability with other tools, or code generation downstream.

    Perhaps, this is not relevant in the use cases that are more important to you.

    Or maybe your question meant to stress that we should be more committed to it, and that simple feature - per se - and in a single product is not very relevant.

    In that case, I would agree with you. And, that is something we are trying to address
    with the DSL strategy.
