Agree for export part. Import is different, because nobody saves to VDX from Visio -- it's not default and MS managed to not deflate it, as a result VDX file is 3-5 times bigger for no users benefit. Not having time and intention to make a test with good features coverage with synthetic files, I converted some VSD samples with vsd2odg from libvisio and corresponding VDXes with Dia VDX plugin. libvisio demonstrates better results on files I have. (I was surprised that Dia plugin missed most of the text in "Calendar" sample from MS (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Calendar_vsd_draw.png), if memory serves for middle table it has nothing special; "months" at the top corners are probably "fields", could require a special handling). > Last time I checked with Visio 2003 SVG was not an option and the > results achieved with Dia's VDX plug-in were not too bad. I think I was able to open/save SVGs from Visio 2002, but I can be wrong about it. Anyway, SVGs generated from Visio were not exactly same bad as HTML generated from winword, but close to it =) -- Cheers, Valek _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
