    I have an 64-bit Windows 7 machine with Visio 2007.   When I create a new UML Model Diagram there is not UML menu and no Model Explorer.  What happened?   Where are they?

    Can you confirm that you have Visio 2007 Professional?  The UML template comes with the Professional version and there is an addon that creates the UML menu structure when the template is opened.  If you have Standard, there will be no UML template or addon.  If you copy the UML template into Standard, you still won't have the addon that creates the menu.

    Make sure you have enabled Automation events on the Advanced tab, if this box is not checked you will not see the UML menu item or the Model Explorer.

    Has anyone come up with an accurate answer.  I have a standard copy of Vision that has the UML menu.  So it is not a feature only in Professional.

    Either you have Visio Professional or you have a 3rd party addon that adds its own UML menu. The built in UML is not in Visio Standard.

    Do menu Tools -> Add-ons. At the bottom of the list does it say Organization Chart and Visio Extras, or, Business, Maps and Floor Plans and Visio Extras?

    Hi, I think my problem is related to this issue. I've got a brand new Visio 2007 installation from our IT guys, and I think its the pro version, but i'm not sure (how do I verify that!?) I don't have the UML menu or Model Explorer either, but my biggest problem is, that I'm not allowed to enter text to Notes!?

    The UML won't appear until you select UML as a new drawing type. Is UML an option from the new drawing menu?

    Yes it is. I'm able to select a "UML Model Diagram" via the "Getting Startet..." page and "File->New->Software and Database".

    and what do you see on the menu when you do so?

    On "Software and Database" menu I get the option to create the following diagrams, each in a Metric and a US units version:

    • COM and OLE
    • Conceptual Web Site
    • Data Flow Model Diagram
    • Database Model Diagram
    • Enterprice Application
    • Express-G
    • Jackson
    • ORM Diagram
    • Program Structure
    • ROOM
    • UML Model Diagram
    • Web Site Map
    • Windows XP User Interface

    This is the version I see in the "About Box":

    Microsoft Office Visio 2007 (12.0.6536.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6554.5001)

    and when you select UML?

    I get an empty sheet and 8 stencils (UML Activity, UML Collaboration, UML Component etc.)

    menu Tools -> Options -> Advanced

    ensure Enable Automation Events is ticked.

    It is!

    Try menu Help -> About -> Disables Items

    and check that the UML addon is not in there.

    Appearantly, Visio 2007 does not have that menu, but in the menu Tools -> Trust Center... and in the Add-ins category pane, it tells me, that there is no disabled or inactive application Add-ins! Isn't that what I'm looking for?

    In the Menu tabs, click on UML > View >  Model Explorer

    In the Menu tabs, click on UML > View >  Model Explorer


    The original poster said they had no UML menu.

    Someone has answer for this question, having same problem and don't know what to do.

    I had the same problem.

    I went to Tools > Trust Center... and then Add-ins tab, and unchecked the "Disable all Application Add-ins".

    For what it's worth, I just experienced a "disappearing UML menu" in Visio Pro 2010. I understand this posting is for 2007 and that for some the issue is Professional vs Standard, disabled or inactive Add-ins, or disabled Automation events. Mine is none of those and I wanted to share it in case others find it useful.

    My UML menu disappeared seemingly consistent with my copying a number of shapes ( Object Lifelines, Messages, Activations, Text (non-UML), and Lines (non-UML) ) and pasting them into a new diagram (same model).

    I recovered my missing UML menu as follows. From the model missing the UML menu I copied my apparently good (sequence) diagram. Closed that model and created an entirely new "UML Model Diagram". I pasted in the copied diagram. In the process I lost, and had to recreate, Object and Message names but, that might have been because I mistakenly pasted the sequence diagram's objects onto a static structure diagram. Oops. Once I fixed that - and my lost names - all was well.

    Although I can't be certain, It is conceivable I induced the problem by *wrongly* adding a new diagram to my model by right clicking the (existing sequence) diagram's tab at the bottom of the screen and selecting Insert.

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I am experiencing the same problems as TheGissel. I am using Visio 2007 (MS Office Visio 2007 (12.0.6556.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6662.5000)) Pro (on Windows 7 Pro SP1), as installed by my site IT.

    I am able to create a new drawing using the UML diagram using "Software and Database" -> "UML Model Diagram (US Units)". But when I do, there is no UML menu, or Model Explorer. I can add a class drawing object, set the class name, but I cannot modify anything else about the class. I have no disabled Add-Ons and I have made sure that "Enable Automation Events" is checked in Tools->Options->Advanced.

    Had a thought overnight to try to use the "Change" feature of the Visio install package to see if UML was by chance available there and unchecked. When I went into "Control Panel"->"Programs"->"Programs and Features"->"Uninstall or change a program", I found that I indeed do NOT have Visio PRO, but MSO Visio Standard 2007. So I think that answers my question. Perhaps other users think they have Pro also but in reality do not? The Control Panel is a good way to verify.
