Imported Visio Decision element - converting to BPMN Gateway element

[Bumble]

Hi,
I've imported a Visio model into Sparx via the Microsoft Visio Add in and am attempting to convert 'Activity' elements to BPMN Activity and 'Decision' to BPMN Gateway elements via a VB Script.

My script looks to work for Activity :

currentElement.Type = "Activity"
currentElement.StereoTypeEX = "BPMN2.0::Activity"
currentElement.Update

But for the Gateway update, it is not working (BPMN tab does not appear in Element properties and the element does not display in the Browser)
I've tried various combinations, below is the latest :

currentElement.Type = "Gateway"                     
currentElement.StereoTypeEX = "BPMN2.0::Gateway"
currentElement.Update

If someone could point me in the direction of what I'm doing wrong please - that would be fab :-)

Many Thanks

Does not look too bad. What version are you using?

Can you tell me where the MDG settings are hidden in V14? This is a real PITA! I know I asked that recently. The forum search (as usual) does not return anything ("V14 MDG" or "14 MDG" -> no results; what??). Also the Search of EA does only show Import/Export and such stuff. But not where to configure the setting. This Is Such A Pain In The Aaaaargggggghhhhhh

Never mind. Found it. SOMEWHERE at the end of the rainbow.

The issue is

Code: [Select]

currentElement.Type = "Gateway"                     
Just remove that line or replace it with

Code: [Select]

currentElement.Type = "Decision"                     
You don't need to alter the types in any case. Just apply the stereotype.

Just tried it and it worked :-)
