Visio Import
« on: August 16, 2010, 09:08:24 pm »
Here is my wish list to improve Visio integration.

To fully support the import of Visio in to BPMN diagrams. Currently this is not easy and many icons are not supported. For example, swimlanes come in as diagram swim lanes not BPMN swimlanes, etc.
It is better supported by other BPMN tools (but not perfect).

When importing, can it create a package per diagram - this would make managing what has been imported easier.

Importing a Visio diagram currently creates a package with the name of the Visio file. Please can it drop the extension - vsd/vxd - from the package name.
