No, it can't. Visio file format is a completely proprietary and undocumented file format. So it is really difficult to write code to read it. The now-defunct Software Bazaar offered a bounty of several thousand dollars for reverse-engineering the Visio format. We really would like to be able to do so. easier alternative would be to make a Visio plug-in that will allow conversion. Other programs have already done this for their proprietary formats.

Version 0.94 of Dia should be able to convert files without running X. However, a working installation of GTK is required to link the program, and Pango must be available for text conversion. Earlier versions of Dia depend on X for various things, but it is planned to allow conversions without running X. In the meanwhile, you can use Xvbf to simulate an X server with the command: startx "/usr/bin/env DISPLAY=:1 /usr/bin/dia -e $HOME/tmp/foo.png $HOME/tmp/foo.

Stop Press: Microsoft made available in Jan 2003 an IFilter for Visio to TechNet customers. I have not yet tested this in STS.

Our ConceptDraw-Visio Converter can convert files from ConceptDraw to Visio format and vice versa. This converter can be downloaded and used on a local computer (it will require MS Visio installed on the same computer), or you can use our online conversion service - you send a file by e-mail to our server, and the converted file is e-mailed back to you.

Yes. You can open and use any Visio diagram from any previous version in Visio 2003. You can open a Visio 2003 diagram in Microsoft Visio 2002 or Visio 2000 by first saving the diagram in the Visio 2002/2000 file format. Note Some specific functionality may be unavailable after saving your diagram in a previous version.

Sometimes files can be corrupted as a backup program will try to backup an open file and when restored the file is corrupt. To stop NTBACKUP from backing up open files perform the following Check "Backup files in use". If it is set to 1 double click on the value and set to 0. Click OK If you do have "Backup files in use" set to 1 then you should also set the following parameter For more information have a look at Q159218 (http://support.microsoft.

MetaSynth currently looks at the file 'type' rather than the file extension. AIFF files that originate on the Mac usually have the file type set correctly but files created on PCs usually don't. If you have a file type utility (such as File Typer or File Buddy), check to make sure that the file type is AIFF. If there is enough interest expressed to us, we will create a 'droplet' application that will set the type correctly.

Visio is a Microsoft product, and is considered an extension of Microsoft Office. It is a drawing tool that makes it easy to assemble many typical business drawings by dragging and dropping shapes off of stencils. Different stencils focus on specific drawing applications (e.g. block diagrams, floor plans, org charts), and many of these stencils revolve around different engineering specialties (e.g. electrical, mechanical, process).

MS Visio file format is not open, so it's not possible for us to handle Visio files directly from ConceptDraw. The converter we have uses OLE technology for converting; it doesn't require knowing the format, but it requires Visio to be installed on the same computer where the converter is.

VSD's must control the speed of the motor over a wide speed range. It holds the motor’s velocity signal within a specified range as a function of voltage, temperature, and load changes. Actual performance parameters include speed range and speed regulation. Other important performance parameters include motor torque, power levels, input current levels, and motor efficiency. Two control strategies are used in industry: open-loop control and closedloop control.

Dia is for technical diagrams like database charts, class diagrams, etc., whereas Inkscape is for vector drawing such as logos, posters, scalable icons, etc. SVG is a useful format for creating diagrams, though, so we hope as Inkscape grows as a fully-featured SVG editor, it will also be useful for making attractive diagrams too. Several of us hope Inkscape will become a useful technical drawing tool and work on features with that goal in mind.

If the file type appears in the Save dialog but is grayed out, you may need to change the image type. For instance, you can't save an RGB as a GIF (convert to indexed first) or an indexed image to JPEG (convert to RGB first). GIMP comes with full support for a few types built in. If the type you want doesn't appear in file type format of the Open and Save dialogs, you need to check the Plug-in registry to see whether you need to download an optional plug-in.

You need to install GhostScript to be able to read PostScript files with GIMP. GhostScript can be downloaded from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/. After you install GhostScript, set the environment variable GS_PROG to the full path to gs.exe. Go to Start►Settings►Control Panel►Display properties►Apperance tab(►Advanced if you're on Windows XP/2003), and set all fonts to Tahoma (or any other TrueType font).

Yes. TextAloud can directly open .txt, .doc, .html, .rtf, and .pdf files. Please note that to open Word files, you must have MS Word installed on your computer.

Yes, in most cases. Most PDF files can be imported into TextAloud directly via File->Open. The exception to this are files that have strong copy protection or Digital Rights Management (DRM) turned on by their authors. There are other options for dealing with these files, so if you have trouble, email us.

No, but there is file called 'uigetfiles.dll' on The MathWorks web site that will allow you to do this, at least on a Windows platform. It can be found on this page: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/Files.jsp?type=category&id=&fileId=331 Sorry, there's no easy solution. MATLAB does not support hierarchical figures, so you can't have a container control holding your controls.
