How to get to Graph View of my XSD

Question

I want to get a Graph View of the contents of my XSD file. Something like this (but for my XSD of course).

But when I drag the XSD file from the XML Schema Explorer ...

and drop it onto the area that I take to be the Design Surface...

...nothing happens. You'll notice that the XSD name (LibraryElement.xsd) appears in the above shot in light gray...because that shot was taken during the drag. But when I then dropped the XSD, all sign of it just disappeared.

For reference, this is the actual XSD file (with the extension changed to trick this question-editor into accepting it):

LibraryElement.xml

Any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

Hi @Kirk Hansen , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Your XML file is invalid.

Please click on “Use XML editor to view and edit the underlying XML Schema file” to edit your XML Schema file. You can bind xmlns to the namespace name: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. 

<schema
  xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'

Then, drag the XSD file again. 

Sincerely,

Anna
