Chris,

Visio Enterprise Architect is a separate install, which can be
found in the \Visio folder of the VSEA install disk. Visio Enterprise
Architect cannot open .IMO files directly, but facts from a VisioModeler
.IMO file can be imported into an ORM Source drawing (Note: not an "ORM
Diagram"). Use the Database->Import/Export->Import VisioModeler .IMO
File menu choice.

Similarly, VisioModeler .IMD files may be imported into a
Database Model Diagram and .IML files may be imported into an ER Source
Model.

Best wishes,

--Mark

Subject: [JCM] VSEA and VisioModeler - Compatibility?

Hi All,

A colleague has just had installed VSEA. She's trying, unsuccessfully,
to read some .imo files produced by VisioModeler (VM). When they're
opened some text (has, is of, etc., i.e. anything typed as predicates or
notes) is visible but there's no signs of the graphical representation
of the facts.
We have no documentation other than that installed by the Service Desk
from the CDs. There's no obvious signs of Visio for Enterprise
Architects as a "startable" icon that I might have expected from a brief
foray into orm.net and Microsoft's VSEA pages. My readings have
concluded that the VM models are compatible with VSEA.

What are we doing wrong? All help gratefully received. Ta!

Chris Bruce
