Import of Visio 2013 Fies

The new Visio2013Importer class can import .vsdx files created by Visio 2013. The class is part of the MindFusion.Diagramming.Import.Visio.dll assembly and you must reference it if you want to use the importer in your project. The class provides various overloads of the Import method, which let you choose how the diagram is imported – as a DiagramDocument, whose pages correspond to the Visio drawing pages or as a single Diagram, whose content is merged from all imported pages.

Zoom control

The ZoomControl class lets you interactively change the zoom level and scroll position of a DiagramView. It is very easy to set it – place the Zoom control anywhere over a DiagramView and set the control’s Target property to that view. The control provides various customization properties like ZoomStep, ScrollStep, Fill, BorderColor, CornerRadius and more.

Miscellaneous

  • You can change the active page in a TabbedDiagramView control with the arrow buttons When AllowRenamePages is enabled, DiagramPage titles can be renamed interactively by clicking the active tab in a TabbedDiagramView.
