Hello Gerald,

When using the Visio Importer Add-In, it does not matter what the file format is.  The Add-In does not directly read the file.  Instead the file is opened in Visio, and the Add-In gets the information through Visio's automation interface.  So the dependency is on the installed version of Visio, not the saved file format.

FYI: The version requirement was largely enforced due to a dependency on the XMI plugin for Visio which we use to extract vital information from UML diagrams in Visio.  Microsoft only released this plugin for Visio 2002 and 2003.

Please send an email to [email protected] on this subject and we can try to assist you further.  If you are able to attach some example diagrams that you are trying to import, this may also be of some help.
