Integrate Enterprise Architect models with Visual Studio, Microsoft Office and Eclipse.
MDG Integration connects Enterprise Architect with Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, and Eclipse so teams can work with models inside familiar environments. It supports document and spreadsheet exchange, model navigation, code generation and reverse engineering, reporting, collaboration, and model-driven development activities across analysis, design, and implementation workflows.

IDE-Based Model Navigation

MDG Integration brings Enterprise Architect model access into supported development environments, letting developers navigate project structures, inspect model content, and refine designs without leaving the IDE. This keeps analysis and implementation artifacts close together during day-to-day development work.

Code Engineering Support

The integration works with Enterprise Architect's code engineering capabilities so teams can generate code from UML elements and reverse engineer existing code into the model. This helps maintain alignment between implementation assets and the architecture captured in the repository.

Model-Driven Development Features

MDG Integration supports model-driven architecture workflows with transformation support that helps move designs toward implementation. It gives development teams a practical way to apply model-based approaches inside familiar environments rather than treating modeling as a separate activity.

Office Document And Spreadsheet Exchange

The Microsoft Office integration exchanges information between Enterprise Architect and Office applications such as Word, Excel, and Visio. Teams can move requirements, model elements, structured data, and diagram content between business documents and the modeling repository.

Excel-Based Import And Publishing

Excel integration imports workbook content as model elements and can also publish model content back to workbooks. It supports structured information such as hierarchies, connectors, attributes, methods, glossary entries, use cases, and tagged values for broader stakeholder participation.

Word And PowerPoint Integration

Word import capabilities map document structures and content into Enterprise Architect elements and properties, while PowerPoint integration lets users reference live model content in presentations. Slides can be refreshed to reflect current repository information, diagrams, and package contents.

Diagram And Standards Conversion

MDG Integration helps teams bring external diagram content into Enterprise Architect, including Visio diagrams and BPMN content. It also supports work around XML-based technologies and related artifacts, giving users a broader bridge between design models and technical specifications.

Reporting And Team Collaboration

The product includes reporting and documentation features for rich text and web-based output, helping teams publish model information for review and delivery. A built-in model discussion forum also supports communication between architects, analysts, and developers around shared model content.
