I have been using case tools in Visio 2003 since ArcGIS 8.1.  I was trying to set up Visio 2003 to export to XML and run the Semantic Checker for ArcGIS 10.  I used http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShow&d=38058 to set up Visio 2003. I can export with no problem, but when I run the Semantic Checker I get a runtime error that reads Automation error ClassFactory cannot supply requested class. I get this error when it tries to instantiate the instance (Line 2 of code below).

Dim SemanticChecker As ESRI_ArcGIS_UmlSemanticsChecker.SemanticsChecker
Set SemanticChecker = New ESRI_ArcGIS_UmlSemanticsChecker.SemanticsChecker
SemanticChecker.StartChecker

I thought it might be a Visio 2003 problem, so I installed Visio pro 2007.  I set it up as per the instructions on http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShow&d=37183

In Visio 2007 I can export with no problem, but get the same error on the same line when trying to run the Semantic Checker. 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem?  Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for any input,
Dennis

Dennis:

I would suggest using the running the following registry file to resolve the conflict between the Visio 2003 template and the ArcGIS 10 dll files in order to get the Semantic Checker to work in verion 10.

Thank-you.  That did fix the problem with the Semantics Checker in Visio 2007.

I am getting the same ClassFactory error when I try to run the Semantics Checker as Dennis; I followed the steps of KB38058 to the letter, including installing the registry patch. I'm Running Visio 2003 Enterprise Architects edition, SP3 on Windows 7 64-bit, with ArcGIS 10 (no SP1).

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tracy

it's like for x32
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGIS_SXS_SDK\Environments\Visio.exe]
but for x64 try create this registry node
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\ArcGIS_SXS_SDK\Environments\Visio.exe]

A colleague of mine in Support and I worked on a Semantics Checker Add-In that can be used in ArcCatalog 10.0, which will give you the capability to check the integrity of the exported XMI or Microsoft Repository with the Semantics Checker. The Add-In can be found at the following link. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e486bc0352a3419687dc660ec9fc58e5

Is there a download for the ArcCatalog 10.0 Semantics Checker Add-In?
