UML Reverse Engineering C++ With Visio 2007 / Visual Studio 2005

Question

Hi,

I have had a looked around the forums, but alas I am still none the wiser!

I am running VS 2005 Professional and Visio 2007 Professional -  and every time I try to reverse engineer a C++ project it will only open Visio with a blank document.

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

[Please Note: I have already tried repairing both installs :( ]

 

Answer 1

Hi,

Visio does not automatically lay out the reverse engineered classes on the design surface.  The reverse engineered classes are populated in the "Model Explorer".  You'll have to drag and drop the classes from the Model Explorer to the design surface to view the classes.

The Visual Studio Team System Architect forum is the right place for discussing Visio UML and DB Modeling solutions (for your future reference).

Thanks,
