Display "Process Engineering" Visio shap

Hi:

If a create a VISIO diagram using "Process Engineering" shapes, how do I get the shapes to display using VISIO import? All I see are rectangles.

Thanks
Jim

Hi,

At this time VisioImporter can import shapes only from a few Visio palettes - basic flowchart shapes, dataflow, organizational, UML and database design. You can map Process Engineering shapes to FlowChart.NET ones by handling the ShapeImported event. In the handler set ShapeNode.Shape to a value corresponding to the ShapeImportedEventArgs.ShapeName.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Thanks.

I do not fully understand what you mean. For example, if I have a shape such as a valve, does FlowChart.Net have the same shape & I just need to map it?  If this is true, then can you please provide a VB.Net 2008 example?

Is there a way to use what VISIO already has?  How can I use the existing VISIO Pallets?  This works well with the flowcharts.

Thanks
Jim

Flowchart.NET comes with about 80 predefined shapes, and we have already mapped them to the similar shapes from the Visio palettes. If you need to import other types of shapes, you will have to either create your own Shape definitions using the ShapeDesigner tool, or assign images to the Image property of nodes to represent the corresponding Visio shapes.
