If you don t see stencils creating new document with a template you may open the template directly  In my case they are located at  C  Program Files Microsoft Office Office15 Visio Content 1049   Last foler name varies regarding locale  I guess  UML template is named  DBUML M VSTX

Microsoft is moving away from software and database diagramming using Visio and instead transitioning into Visual Studio    See the  Modeling  Projects   Component Diagrams  Sequence Diagrams  Use Cases  Layer Diagrams are all part of the modeling project    While I am experimenting with it  but question its viability   you can generate code from the models creating in the code generation sense   See also this post Pet Shop Models as well as the MSDN documentation  Modeling the Architectural  Here s what I have available in vs2013 ultimate

Please check this KB article   http   support microsoft com kb 2259709  This issue occurs because Visio 2013 uses new UML and database modeling templates that are not used by Visio 2010 or by earlier versions of Visio  And it applies to both     Microsoft Visio Professional 2013  and  Microsoft Visio Standard 2013   So upgrading to Pro might not help as well

I had the same problem with Visio 2016  I have the standard license  I think it is very strange that you can select a  UML Sequence  template when you search for it but it then opens a blank canvas without shapes  So you don t see anything and can t select the shapes under the  More Shapes  window on the side    So I searched the shapes in the installation directory of Visio  I found in the directory C  Program Files Microsoft Office Office16 Visio Content 1033 a couple of Sequence diagram templates  ie  BASIC UMLSEQUENCE M VSTX   They are using the stencil USEQME M vssx  I found that out by right clicking the shapes in the left window and select  Save as   I saved them in  My Documents  under  My Shapes  just like custom shapes  I can than use them in any new document that I want   Note the capital M or U in the name of the template or stencil for US Units or Metric Units  I m from the Netherlands so I m using the M version   A not really friendly way to get the shapes  But it works
