Save UML Diagrams as an image

Question

I've looked but haven't seem to be able to find a way, but is there a way to save the UML diagrams as an image? Also is it possible to do this from a command line argument?

Currently I am the only developer with VS 2010 installed and need to share my diagrams with the rest of the team, and would like to have updated diagrams exported nightly as images so the team can see them in the morning. This would be a temporary thing until management approves the install of 2010 for everyone.

Thanks

Hi Wayne,

This post from Cameron explains how to implement an extra menu on your UML diagrams that save the diagram as an image file. With a little extra work you probably should be able to get this to work from a command line (manually load the solution, access the Modeling project, iterarte through the diagrams, load them an create an image).

Hope this helps a little.

Edward is right, but if that's too much work, you can copy contents of a diagram to clipboard and paste it in Word, Office Picture Manager, etc.
