reverse engineer vs .net project

[Susan Atalla]

What i'm trying to do is to simple export my current project into Visio. In
order to do this I go to "Project > Visio UML > Reverse engineer" which then
I
create the new .vsd file with a blank page. What when wrong?

I apologize Susan if this is not applicable to your case but some who have
used other modeling tools expect diagrams to be auto-generated. Visio does
not do this.

Visio imports the Classes (and other helpful stuff) but it's up to you to
create the diagrams. I happen to like that approach. Tools I've used that
auto-gen the diagrams tend to create noisy diagrams that I end up having to
pare down to what I really need anyway.

BEWARE: Depending on the tools you are using (VS version and Visio version),
the reverse engineering might be 1-shot, i.e. you may not be able to refresh
your UML Model from the code base. I discovered this after reverse
engineering a large code base for architectural discovery and creating my
diagrams only to find I could not refresh the UML Model from the subsequently
changed code base
