Hello,

I am exporting my flowcharts to Visio.vdx files and when I attempt to look at them using my Viso 2003 Viewer the shapes are all present, however the lines do not display. If I open the .vdx file using Visio Pro 2003, the lines display properly.

Hope someone can help!
Thanks
Barry

Thanks Stoyo,

Haven't had much luck yet... for removing the arrow heads, do you have another option? I need to be able to point out the flow. The auto generator is fantastic, but sometimes it still puts nodes in some weird spots, so I need to be able to show direction.

Hello,

Wondered if you had a chance to follow up on this yet? If you need a beta tester, let me know!


Thanks
Barry

This version of VisioExporter should make the links visible in Visio Viewer:

Our developer is still struggling with the node size differences; I'll post an updated version when that's fixed too.

I hope that helps,

Hi Barry,

Unzip it into a new folder, and add that folder to your project reference path. Move the new folder to the top of the path list and the project will use the new assemblies. They might not be very stable, so if you have any problems with them, just move their folder down in the reference path lists - that should return you safely to the stable version. If the license compiler complains about strong name differences, edit licenses.licx and set PublicKeyToken=null on the line that refers to Flowchart.NET.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,

I'm afraid there is no newer version . Now at least we know why Visio Viewer displays only rectangles. The exporter writes just the master shape name in the exported XML, and relies on Visio to load the master definitions and display the correct node shapes. Apparently the Viewer doesn't keep the master shape definitions around, but relies on all nodes having their complete geometry described in the exported file - in the form of sequences xml elements describing lines, arcs, curves, etc. We'll implement this in the 5.1.1 release.

Hi Barry,

Don't worry, we will support .NET 1.1 for a long time, but will provide .NET 1.1 assemblies only upon request - they won't be included in the standard installation package anymore.

Hi,

Actually the links are at the correct locations, but the nodes are not, due to the missing support for master shapes in Visio Viewer. This will be fixed when we implement the <GEOM> element in VDX to describe all graphics primitives for each node.
