Visio import connector issues
« on: December 02, 2015, 12:59:21 am »
Hi. I'm using the visio importer to get our logical data model where it belongs... I had a previous attempt some months ago, and when that version of the visio runs through the wizard, the EA Class diagram retains the orthogonal connectors, and the shape position (i.e. it looks fine). On an updated model (based on the orginal, but maintained by someone else) when it imports it loses all shape positions and the connectors all turn straight (i.e. it looks a right mess). auto layout helps some but the connectors are still a mess. I've had a look at the 2 visio files and there is nothing obviously different about the way the model is put together, so I am at a loss to understand why one works and the other not?!

The only viable option currently to resolve is to manually reposition the whole model and connectors, but I really want to avoid that if I can.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Some version numbers would be helpful:
  • Enterprise Architect
  • Visio Importer
  • Visio Installed
  • Visio model was created in

If any of these are different between either model, that would be relevant.
