I would like to display stereotype(Boundary, Control, Entity) in my sequence diagram using visio 2013 like from this link
Howefer, i can't find a suitable way to make this in Visio 2013/
Is there any way to make stereotype like what i want in Microsoft Visio 2013? Any Ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Microsoft Visio to draw my UML Diagrams.
More specifically the "UML Class" package as shown below
I want to define my class as Abstract and I don't find any "Properties tab" or somth to manage any class options.
Is there any way to achieve this another way than simply set the class name as Italic in the text format option ?
EDIT
The solution provided here doesn't seem to fit with newer version of Visio as long as i can't find a "Properties" tab.
MS Visio is not the greatest tool to create UML models. Of course it lets you draw nice diagrams, especially with the right packages, but what you get is not really related to each other.
Getting back to your question, there are many different possibilities depending on specific UML package you use. If you don't have anything special and you can't find some "Abstract" or IsAbstract" property of the class, you can always just change the text format to Italic.
All the "smarts" (for want of a better name) have been removed from the UML shapes in the later versions of Visio, 2013 onwards as far as I know. There is a "Properties" attribute to the Class shape in Visio 2010 but not in Visio 2016. The shapes are now just plain and simple.
I am using the latest starUML BETA and I'm having these problems.
I have created 2 sequence diagrams and save it as a .mdj file.
After a few days, I wanted to continue working on the diagrams. But when I opened the file, the diagrams I was working on was not displayed. There is also nothing under the Working Diagrams area. But the Explorer section showed the items I have used in creating my diagrams.
I don't want to make my diagrams from scratch again. Is there a way that the diagrams will be displayed again?
I had exactly the same problem. Solved by DOUBLE clicking on Activity Diagram.
To open the diagram, you should first click on the sequence diagram on the Explorer area on the right of the screen and then you'll see that your .mdj file is loaded.

I've created a web part page which contains visio drawing in sharepoint site. Now I want to show shape data when the mouse hover on specific shapes, instead of clicking "Toggle the visibility of shape information pane".
e.g. When mouse hovers at one employee image, more detailed information which is included in "Shape Data" can pop up, showing "Name:XXX, ID:XXX, Age:XXX..."
I've tried to add "Comment" in "shape sheet", but the hover over effect only works in Visio Design Mode. It does not work after I integrated the drawing in sharepoint webpart.
Also, I tried another approach by saving visio drawing as htm webpage. However, the data will not be dynamically updated in that way.
How could I achieve this function? Do I need to use javascript? If so, how could I integrate javascript to the webpage I already created with visio drawing?
This will walk you through the process.

I have a class diagram which i created using Star Uml but now the requirement is to port it to MS Visio . Is it possible to port the .uml to a .vsd with the xml information available?
Thanks in advance.
Exporting as a Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF) only imports to Visio as an image.
I understood that the purpose of exporting from StarUML and importing into Visio was being able to manipulate in Visio each one of the objects created in StarUML (e.g. classes).
I haven't found a solution for doing this.
Both programs support export/import of Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF). So you may try those.
Exporting from StarUML as a Windows Metafile (WMF) or Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF) and then import to Visio as a grouped shape.
It might look as an image at first look, but actually its a grouped shape. In order to edit, all you need to do is Right click on the grouped shape and "Ungroup".
Is there a way to just lay everything out in the "best" possible manner, using the entire drawing area available? Or do I have to position the various elements myself?
You can try using the "Lay Out Shapes" dialog in Visio 2003. Go to the Shape menu and click on the "Lay Out Shapes" menu item. It can have some interesting results, but it might help if you play around with it.
yes it is possible.
