The
SysML template for
Microsoft
Visio supports symbols of the
OMG Systems Modeling
Language (OMG SysMLTM) as specified in the
OMG document
ptc/06-05-04 (SysML final adopted specification).
Details of the OMG SysML can be found on the official OMG
SysML website at
http://www.omgsysml.org.
If you discover omissions
in the SysML template or have suggestions
for improvements please contact me at ph@ phruby.com.
Terms of Use
You can use, copy and modify the
template and stencils for your own use as you like. You
are not allowed to redistribute the original or modified
template and stencils and any of its shapes
without my prior permission. The reason for this
restriction is updates; I'd like the latest version of
the shapes being available at this site.
How to Download
Right-click
the file below you want to download, and select "Save Target As...". Don’t
left-click the files, if you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer! It will start Visio on your computer. If the
option "Save Target As..." is dimmed, disable Content
Advisor in your browser. Please make sure that the names of
the files you are downloading are the same as those on this
page and that your browser has not changed them. Sometimes,
older browsers mysteriously change the file extensions to .exe, or add (1) to the
file names. If you have difficulties downloading the files, please contact me.
How to
Get Help
The stencils are very easy
to use. For those who are new to Visio, have a look at the four-page document
Tips for Visio
stencil for SysML. Please read this document before
asking me questions.
SysML Template for Visio 2007
The
template for Visio 2007 contains the same shapes as the
templates for Visio 2003, as Visio 2007 has
almost the same functionality as Visio 2003, and there are
mainly usability improvements.
Install: Create a subdirectory called "SysML"
under "...My Documents\My Shapes\", that is, "...My Documents\My Shapes\SysML".
Unzip the stencils and template into "...\My Documents\My Shapes\SysML".
Start
Visio, click "Tools" and "Options". In the "Advanced" tab,
click "File Paths..." and type "C:\Document and
Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Shapes\" (i.e. without
"SysML") into the fields "Stencils" and "Templates".
Hint: the same directory is probably in the "My Shapes"
field. The template "SysML 1.0" will appear in
the "SysML" template category.
If you'd like the SysML template to
appear in the category "Software and Database", together with
other software templates, create a directory
"Software and Database", for example, "...My Documents\My Shapes\Software
and Database",
and unzip the stencils and template into it.
The stencils and template
are here: SysML1.0-Visio2007.zip.
SysML Template for Visio 2003
The
template for Visio 2003 contains the same shapes as the
templates for Visio 2000 and 2002. However, installation is
more complicated than in previous versions of Visio, in
order to be compatible with other Microsoft Office products.
Install: Create a subdirectory called "SysML" in any directory,
for example, "...My Documents\My Shapes\SysML". It
can be any directory, except of the directory in which
Visio 2003 stores its own stencils and templates.
Unzip the stencils and template into
this directory, i.e. into "...\My Documents\My Shapes\SysML".
Start Visio, click "Tools" and "Options". In the "Advanced"
tab, click "File Paths..." and type this directory without "SysML", that is, "C:\Document
and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Shapes\"
into the
fields "Stencils" and "Templates". Restart Visio.
The template "SysML 1.0" will appear under the "SysML"
software category.
If you'd like the SysML
template to appear under the "Software" category together with
other software stencils, use "Software", instead of "SysML"
in the steps above.
The stencils and template
are here: SysML1.0-Visio2003.zip.
SysML Template
for Visio 2002
The
template for Visio 2002 contains the same
shapes as the templates for Visio 2000 and 2003, but
installation is different.
Install: Create a
folder, for example SysML, in the folder in which Visio 2002 keeps
its solutions. Typically, it is the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio10\1033\ Solutions\.
Unzip the stencils and template to the SysML folder. The template and all the stencils must be in the same folder.
The stencils and template
are here: SysML1.0-Visio2002.zip
SysML Template
for Visio 2000
The
template for Visio 2000 contains the same shapes as the
templates for Visio 2002 and 2003, but installation is
different.
Install: Unzip the stencils
and template to the folder in which Visio 2000 keeps stencils and templates.
Typically, it is the folder
C:\Program Files\Visio\Solutions\Software Diagram.
All the stencils and the template must be in the same folder.
The stencils and template
are here: SysML1.0-Visio2000.zip.
Future
Versions of SysML Template
It is my intention to update the stencils whenever
SysML
is updated, or when I get some good suggestions from you. Please send me
e-mail
if you have any suggestions or found omissions in the stencil design.
If you make any improvements yourself, please be so kind as to let me know.
Acknowledgements
This stencil would not be
possible without Sandy Friedenthal of Lockheed Martin
Corporation, who helped and supported me along the way and
provided me superb guidance to SysML.
Last update of the stencils:
