Does EA integrate with Visio 2010? Is it an add-on or a future enhancement?

Nope.

You can paste images into EA from the clipboard.

Visio doesn't support object tracking (natively) so this would be quite difficult for EA to bind a Visio object.

For example EA uses GUID for object, and Visio doesn't....Visio - you have to build properties against the object and then assign a value.

There is a free MDG Link for Visio that will import Visio pictures into Enterprise Architect models, available from here:

I have never tested it personally with Visio 2010

Not really what I am looking for, want to export to Visio of use diagram features in Visio and export to EA directly from there.

This is a module that I would pay for it if was an optional full featured component. (I think many people would, especially with Sharepoint becoming widely used in corporates)
