Thanks Rainer, I am able to generate diagram into lyx master file using the
steps shared by you. Thank you very much.
My master file include the .plantuml file as graphic as suggested by you
and it is working fine.
I wanted to export whole file as PDF so
Next I used inkscape to convert SVG to PDF by adding convertor.
when i run export as PDF image is not included into the master PDF doc.
I can see the SVG to PDF conversion happening into the temp cache
directory. but somehow it is not included into master file any pointer will
help.
Regards,
Rajender Saini
