ArcGIS10:Designing Geodatabases with Visio2007 Where is Case Tools\UML Models folder?

[ScottChang]

Hi all,

I have ArcGIS 10 installed in my Microsoft NT 4 LAN System like this:
C;\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\..... I do not see C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\Case Tools\UML Models folder in my ArcGIS 10 program.  From the ERSI Tutorial "ArcGIS 9: Designing Geodatabases With Visio", I saw the following:  Designing the object model; Step 1, Start Visio; Step 2, Click on File and click Open; Step 3, Browse to the CaseTools\UML Models folder where you installed ArcGIS. Double-click the Arcinfo UML Model template file.

I have Microsoft Visio 2007.  I stareted the Visio 2007 program, clicked on File and browsed to C;\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\..... But, I do not see C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\Case Tools\UML Models folder in my ArcGIS 10 program.   Please kindly help and tell me where I can find the  Case Tools\UML Models folder in ArcGIS 10 to do the Designing Geodatabases with Visio 2007.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott Chang,

CASE tools need to be installed separately to access those templates ("....Desktop 10.0\Case Tools\UML Models"). You can locate the setup from your media disc or download from the customer care site (http://customers.esri.com/)

Hi Mander,  Thanks for your nice response.

1) I will ask our Computer Administrator to download and install the Case Tools\UML Models folder for me.

2) I need to ask you one more thing:  I have one book "GISTUTORIAL3 Advance Workbook for ArcGIS 10" written by David W. Allen and Jeffery M. Coffey (published by ESRI Press).  Chapter 1: Designing the geodatabase schema.  Is this book related to the Designing Geodatabases With Visio via the Case Tools\UML models in any way?   Please enlighten me in this mater and answer my question as much as you like.

Thanks again,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott Chang,

I am sorry, I am not sure if they are related. I would suggest further research.
