Has anyone been able to import the xmi export filethis tool generates into any other tool? I have tried pulling Visio Use case diagrams into XDE, Sparx 4.1, and now Sparx 6.0 with zero luck.
Are there any plans to upgrade this add-in to export xmi 1.1, 1.2, etc? The 1.0 version it exports is not support with the rest of the tools (XDE and Sparx) on the market I am currently using.

To address your questions:
- The main purpose of the tool was to provide a mechanism to export model data (from class diagrams) into an xml file which you can programmatically access.
What is the point of this? Where would this have value?
If I understand your question correctly...
It would have value any time you need to process the metadata associated with that model. For example, looking for interoperability with other tools, or code generation downstream.
Perhaps, this is not relevant in the use cases that are more important to you.
Or maybe your question meant to stress that we should be more committed to it, and that simple feature - per se - and in a single product is not very relevant.
In that case, I would agree with you. And, that is something we are trying to address
with the DSL strategy.

This is yet another example of a half-a$$ed approach to tools by MS -
This should be considered a priority.
Hi everyone!
Is it possible to export use case diagrams too? I try to modify the sample code but is quite complex to find a solution.
