Is it possible create annotation feature class with Case tool?

[StefanoIacovella]

Hi all

I'm using Visio 2007 professional edition qith ArcGIS 9.3.1.
I would like to add some annotaion feature class in a model I'm designing. Form the documentation I've read it is not immediatly evident if it is possible to do it  and how I can manage to add the annotation.
thank you for any hint about it.

Cheers

Stefano

The geodatabase modeling and design requirements survey closes tomorrow (Wed) August 31st at 11:59pm Eastern US time. Thanks to those who've already participated. It's a user-driven survey I helped create in support of the Geodatabase Modeling and Design Special Interest Group (SIG) for Esri's 2011 International User Conference.

I'd love to see more International representation. Most responses are from the US. Qualitative answers (text entries) are more valuable than quantitative ones (check boxes, etc). Please mention specific use cases and anything that would help in your daily work. Skip whatever isn't relevant. The survey isn't just for experts. It's for anyone who designs geodatabases. Of particular interest to me in designing the survey was integration of Enterprise GDB Design with Relational Database Design and the rest of Enterprise IT.

A summary of survey results will be posted to my blog, http://SpatialDba.com, by October 31st.

In response to Stefano's query: Annotation was not included in the first beta release, however it is being developed for the next beta.

Just following up on this point I made earlier. Enterprise Architect's UML profile for ArcGIS schema modeling was officially released recently, in conjunction with the release of Enterprise Architect 9.3.931. Unfortunately we were not able to include dimension and annotation feature classes in this release. Both are still planned, however, for future releases of the profile. I'll provide updates as this work completes. For details on what is available see: http://www.sparxsystems.com/arcgis
