Dear Sirs, I found your email address at the bottom of the FAQ list of DIA. Since I cannot find the answer I am looking for on the internet, I was hoping you could help me. My customer arrived at DIA, the open source tool to create diagrams. They like it and want to use it. The product I support can only import Visio diagrams. So I was wondering if I can create diagrams in DIA and convert them to VSD. I exported first to SVG, later to VDX. In both options, the elements are saved in many parts. A block containing text will end up in Visio as a group of a drawn box and a text element. An arrow contains many drawing elements, particularly an arrow point. Also, an arrow (a 1D element) is somehow interpreted as a 2D element. Something I don't understand because I think a 2D element cannot be connected to another 2D element (in Visio at least) and I did manage to connect an arrow to two objects in Dia. These results inhibit our tool to interpret the flowchart. Do you know of any good way to migrate a diagram from DIA to VSD without the loss (or change of) information? I did find information about converting Visio diagrams to DIA, but not the other way round. With kind regards, Philip Lafeber. Philip Lafeber De Week van Kwaliteitsmanagement! Mavim Disclaimer NL |
