Visio Importer doesn't work
« on: November 10, 2006, 05:44:09 am »
I wanted to create class diagrams from existing code, so I first created the Visio diagrams from inside Visual Studio. Then I wanted to import it into EA, but all I get is the message: "This importer supports only version 2002 and 2003 of Visio".
This is weird, because I use Visio 2003 (sp2 to be exact). I also tried saving the diagram as a Visio 2002 file (both .vsd and .vdx). Everything fails with the same error.

We have had other reports of this same issue with the Visio Importer Add-In and should have a fix available soon.

For your scenario however, if you already have existing source code that you wish to represent in EA, we recommend using EA's Import Source Directory feature.  This will result in a more accurate import than importing a class diagram from Visio.

For more information of Import Source Directory feature, please see:

Hope this helps.
