UML support in Visio 2013 is limited :-(
-
I tried to open a Visio 2010 UML diagram in Visio 2013, but the diagram only opens in a readonly mode. It turns out that UML support in Visio 2013 is now only a bunch of unrelated diagrams, without a repository. So if you create a class on 1 diagram, you'll need to do the same work on other diagrams. http://blogs.office.com/b/visio/archive/2012/10/17/uml-and-database-diagrams-in-the-new-visio.aspx[^] For me having a repository is the main reason for using a case tool (if Visio can be qualified as one anyway :^) ) Do you have some good suggestions to resolve this? Or alternatively are there any good free UML case tools available? Thanks, Gaston

Hi Pete, Thanks, StartUML seems to be worth looking at! Gaston

continue using Visio 2010, ignore 2013
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -
