Export Sharepoint Sites Tree to a Visio 2007 image

[Matteo]

Dear all,
I don't know if it's available a procedure inside visio or inside sharepoint
able to export the structure of all the sites and import them in visio to a
graphical view.

Actually I am a newbie for visio but I think that a way to feed visio with
external data (like xml) and enable it to build a graphic defining images for
each node would be possible.

Any advice on how to do that in visio 2007?

Thank you in advance.

Matteo

have you checked out the web site mapping tool?

I tried it now, it's really functional anyway it doesn't reflect the WSS
strucuture, it works as robots do, searching each page linked to the main
one, I need something that repeat the structure of sites and subsites as wss
is build.

Is it possible give an xml structure to visio and instruct it to build a map
reading xml?

Thank you
Matteo

visio (of course) has it's own xml schema which is published on the ms site.
Visio can save as xml to a .vdx file and import it. Chris Roth did a
presentation at last years developer conference and also has some material
on his site (www.visguy.com).
