Accessing the UML documentation directly from Visio document files

[SINA]

Hello!

My company is using Visio as UML modeling tool. We have developed many diagrams wich now must be translated to Java code. Is there any kind of documentation about Visio document format which would enable us to directly access visio documents (without starting Visio) and extract the UML information?

Thanks!

visio internals are proprietary. you might consider attempting to save as
xml, but I'm not sure how much of the uml solution is exposed (based on
other comments not a lot).

Thanks Al!

I have tried saving the document as XML and it seems that UML info is embedded as an OLE2 Object in one of the master shapes. Is there any information about this object?
