Node alignment issue after excel import

Hi stoyo,
     While importing some excel diagrams, I face issues in the alignment of nodes. I have the co-ordinates associated with nodes and connectors. But when the imported diagram is being generated, it appears that some nodes overlap other nodes and few connector end points also overlap on the nodes.

Does mindfusion provide some function or property for proper node and connector alignment? I have tried using autoalignnodes and autoaligndistance.  Sad

I have attached a snapshot of the diagram that was exported as pdf.

Hi,

If they don't overlap in the Excel file but do in the imported diagram, you might not be converting the node coordinates or sizes correctly to the diagram's WpfPoint unit. What units are these Excel drawings measured in?

Hi Stoyan,
     The excel shape co-ordinates unit is float.

Are you importing from Excel Open XML format / DrawingML specification?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DrawingML#DrawingML

The English Metric Units used there are defined as 1 / 914400 of an Inch, so to convert to WpfDiagram's default units you must multiply imported coordinates by 914400 / 96.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
