Import of OpenOffice Draw files

The new DrawImporter class lets you import *.odg files created by the OpenOffice Draw Vector graphics editor. You just need to add a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Import.Draw.dll assembly and are ready to use it. You can use various overloads of the Import method to import the OpenOffice drawing into a DiagramDocument whose pages correspond to the Draw pages, or into a single Diagram whose content is merged from all imported pages.

  • The ZIndex property no longer changes automatically when dropping nodes into a container
