Lanes & Export to PDF

Latest version 5.2

I have encountered a problem when exporting a  diagram containing lanes and a number of shapes to .pdf. The resultant PDF file is blank. I am using the latest pdfexport.dll (v 5.2.0.34178)

The export to Visio only exports the shapes

regards
Doug

VisioExporter does not support lanes. Seems PdfExporter has some problem with the new feature where text can be displayed in the grid cells. The problem is that it expects some text to be set, at least a space, so as a work-around you could set the text of all cells in the grid like this:

grid[null, null].Text = " "; // a space symbol in the string
grid.TopLeftAreaText = " "; // a space symbol in the string

We'll try to fix this in the next couple of days.

I forgot to mention taht I modified your suggested code for my VB testbed and it works fine when teh diagram is exported as a pdf file
[code]       
For j = 0 To grid.ColumnCount - 1
           For k = 0 To grid.RowCount - 1
               grid(j, k).Text = " " '// a space symbol in the string
           Next
       Next
       grid.TopLeftAreaText = " " ' // a space symbol in the string
[/code]

Hi Doug,

You can download a fixed version from the PM page. We are using a new naming convention for the assemblies now; you must remove the Flowchart.NET references from your project, and add references to the corresponding new assemblies.
