I think that is because of how the shapes themselves are defined. The shapes in the shape sheet files are SVG. SVG objects can be text objects, but do not have a label attribute like Dia or Visio shapes do. > > Do you know of any good way to migrate a diagram from DIA to VSD without > the loss (or change of) information?

For your application it should be possible to create a better (for your application) Dia XML to Visio XML converter, but would require more details about Visio XML than I have ever been able to find. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
