Accessing Visio for Enterprise Architects
There are two ways to access Visio for Enterprise Architects after it is installed. You can start it as a stand-alone program from the Start menu, or you can start it from within Visual Studio. To start it from within Visual Studio, open a project from Solution Explorer, from the Project menu point to Visio UML, and then click Reverse Engineer. This starts Visio for Enterprise Architects, reverse engineers the project you have open, and saves the diagram to your solution folder.
For procedural information about starting Visio for Enterprise Architects, see How to: Create a UML Diagram from Visual Studio.
Specific information about using Visio is not provided in the Visual Studio help collection. For more information about using Visio for Enterprise Architects as a separate program, open Visio for Enterprise Architects, open one of the Visio for Enterprise Architect templates (Database, UML, ER, and ORM Source Model diagrams) and from the Help menu, click Visio for Enterprise Architects Help.
