Right-click on the class diagram within Visual Studio and select "Export Diagram as Image..."

Choose Enhanced Metafile Format (*.emf) which is recognized by Visio.

Thanks but ... 1 - I couldn't find the 'export' function (VS2012). 2 - Isn't emf a bitmap? If so, would this be importable to Visio? – David Perlman Dec 13 '12 at 10:06
@DavidPerlman: I have not got a chance to look at VS2012. If it is an emf it would be a huge benefit. – Priyank Thakkar Dec 13 '12 at 14:37

I confirm that in visual studio ultimate 2013, there is no `*.emf` option. – hdoghmen Jan 19 '15 at 22:10
Unfortunately there is no *.emf option in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise either. – ProfNimrod May 09 '16 at 18:38

What version is this for. I am using VS pro 2010 and I don't see anything like this. – eaglei22 Jun 20 '16 at 17:53
Which version of Visual Studio 2010 are you using? – Megatron213 Apr 23 '21 at 07:59

You can do it from visual studio File > Print and then send it to OneNote or choose PDF.

I don't see this option.. for VS Pro 2010. What version are you referencing and simply, File > Print did not work.. I can't even select print when highlighting the class diagram. – eaglei22 Jun 20 '16 at 17:54
