Question

I am creating class diagram using VS2010. Is there any way to import VS2010 generated class diagrams to import in MS Visio?

Answer 1

Right-click on the class diagram within Visual Studio and select "Export Diagram as Image..."

Choose Enhanced Metafile Format (*.emf) which is recognized by Visio.

Thanks but ... 1 - I couldn't find the 'export' function (VS2012). 2 - Isn't emf a bitmap? If so, would this be importable to Visio? – Erkan

@DavidPerlman: I have not got a chance to look at VS2012. If it is an emf it would be a huge benefit. – Gully

I confirm that in visual studio ultimate 2013, there is no *.emf option. – Porcine

Unfortunately there is no *.emf option in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise either. – Size

What version is this for. I am using VS pro 2010 and I don't see anything like this. – Dickinson

Which version of Visual Studio 2010 are you using? – Rabjohn

Answer 2

You can do it from visual studio File > Print and then send it to OneNote or choose PDF.

I don't see this option.. for VS Pro 2010. What version are you referencing and simply, File > Print did not work.. I can't even select print when highlighting the class diagram. – Dickinson
