Imported Flow Charts

2 Questions:

1) When I import a visio flowchart I want to change the Anchor Points of the nodes to a different type to match my settings.  How do i do this?

2) when i print an import flowchart it is all scrunched up and un readable.  Any ideas on fixing this?

Thanks,

Greg

1) You can change the anchor points of a node by creating an AnchorPattern object and assigning it to the DiagramNode.AnchorPattern property. There is some sample code showing that in the Anchors and Flowcharter sample projects. After setting the AnchorPattern, call the ReassignAnchorPoints method, or set the OriginAnchor / DestinationAnchor property of links.

2) Are you using pixels as the MeasureUnit? Usually the print-out doesn't look that good when using pixels - try switching temporarily to Point when printing.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

The Anchor points is working, but the printing is still messed up.  Here is my code:

diagramView.PrintOptions.DocumentName = "Flowchart";
diagramView.PrintOptions.EnableImages = false;
diagramView.PrintOptions.EnableInterior = true;
diagramView.PrintOptions.EnableShadows = true;
diagramView.PrintOptions.Scale = 100;
diagramView.Print();

It work fine on non-imported flowchartes.

Do i need to save the flowchart before printing?

Try setting DiagramView.Diagram.MeasureUnit = GraphicsUnit.Point before calling Print(). If that doesn't help, please save the diagram to XML and email it to support@mindfusion.eu.

OK, We are making progress.  That fixed the Printing.  This lead me to another problem when importing.  My settings before importing are:

diagramView.Diagram.GridSizeX=4;
diagramView.Diagram.GridSizeY=4;
diagramView.Diagram.MeasureUnit =  GraphicsUnit.Millimeter;

After Import the MeasureUnit gets changed automatically to Pixel.  If I change it back to Millmeter then you do ot see the imported flowchart.

MeasureUnit is set to the one specified in the Visio file being imported, and there is no way to disable that at this time. Additionally, changing MeasureUnit does not alter the digram items sizes to match the new unit. So if you want to return back to Millimeter from Pixel after importing, you will need to scale down the values of all size-related properties, such as DiagramNode.Bounds and DiagramLink.ControlPoints. You could use the method shown here to convert between different units:
