 I am using:

EA 14 (Build 1421)
Visio Standard 2016
EA Visio MDG Link 2.0.1.2

I also chose 'Activity' but the same thing happened for other options.

What's this about dragging and dropping objects? I get a diagram generated as shown in the slides here (same link as before):
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=50230

I don't do any dragging and dropping. I appreciate your help with this greatly.

Nizam, I should add that when I run this query in the EA SQL Scratch Pad:
select * from t_connector

There are no results.

I suspect it is a compatibility issue.

Everything else being same, I suspect its something to do with the latest version of EA and its compatibility with Excel Import.

If you have the older installer, can you try installing that too ( you can install two versions of EA, by changing the installation folder name before installing the second one).

PS -I still use EA 13.1

OK, I reinstalled EA 13.5, but I put it in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA13

Looks like I needed to put it in a higher level folder as I no longer seem to have EA14.

So I am running 13.5 now, which isn't a bad thing because my .eapx files could not read by my colleagues running EA 13 and I could not export in .eap format. I had to reinstall the Visio importer (the "import" link was grayed out) and now have two separate Visio extensions in the ribbon, but it does work. Now when I import the Visio file, I do get the connectors! So there is clearly an issue with EA 14 and the Visio MDG. Also, the Activities import with the stereotype Box. Nizam I assume you saw the same thing.

Glad it finally worked for all those efforts.  Yes, I did notice the item with the stereotype, the name and connectors were visible without any additional processing.

Thanks for your help. I emailed Sparx to let them know the results of my beta testing of EA 14.  :)
