VISIO 2013 has an incorrect error message displayed

When I am exporting a SharePoint 2013 Workflow diagram so that I can use it in SharePoint Designer 2013, I am getting the following error message,

"This doesn't seem to be a SharePoint 2010 Workflow diagram. We can't export the diagram unless it contains SharePoint 2010 Workflow Shapes. Also, we can't export if there are shapes from other workflow versions in diagram".

I have uninstalled and installed a new version of VISIO 2013 professional today to see if this would solve the problem and it did not.

I think the problem might be caused by exporting a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow with either the visual designer view or text based designer into Visio 2013 professional version. I then exported the same workflow back into SharePoint designer. The original workflow was created in SharePoint Designer 2013 and not in VISIO pro 2013?

Thus can you tell me what I can do to solve this problem?
