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).

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.

Yes - the drawings are created using Microsoft? Office Visio?, so can be manipulated using the standard Microsoft? Office Visio? functions, i.e., you can move the items in the drawing by hand. However to make more dramatic changes to the layout, you can use a special layout option which automatically changes the layout for the currently selected Visio View, (e.g., from a wheel layout to a tree layout). Below are some examples:-

Yes. FrontPage has a tendency to encapsulate file names from the original site in square brackets []. This can be problematic for some LMSs. To correct this problem, open the web site in FrontPage and remove the square brackets from all file names. This is a known issue with the Beta version of Moodle 1.8. The error is generated by the SCORM API call “cmi.interactions.n.correct_responses.m.pattern” which tells the LMS what the correct answers to a question are.

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

No, Electra? 2005 is a Microsoft? Visio? solution (add-in) and requires Microsoft? Visio? to function.

Answer: For small and/or simple models Visio is sufficient. But, if the complexity of your model is such that you have problems keeping it consistent and clear enough for others to understand it, or if you need certain results obtainable via simulation of the model, then Visio is insufficient; in such cases you will benefit from GRADE.

The autoMap requires that you have Microsoft Visio 2002, 2003 or 2007? installed on your PC - Either the standard or professional version is required. Please note that Microsoft Visio Viewer is not sufficient to display the results of the discovery process, you must have a fully (activated) copy of Visio to generate autoMap views (though not to perform the initial discovery).

Global JXDM prereleases have four integers in their version numbering schemes, and include 3.0.0.0, 3.0.0.1, 3.0.0.2, and 3.0.0.3. All were released in 2003. For transitional reasons, prereleases 3.0.0.0, 3.0.0.1, and 3.0.0.3 will remain available for an undetermined period of time. Global JXDM prereleases are no longer updated or supported.

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.

The autoMap? requires that you have Microsoft? Office Visio? 2003 or 2007? installed on your PC - Either the standard or professional version is required. Please note that Microsoft? Office Visio? Viewer is not sufficient to display the results of the discovery process, you must have a fully (activated) copy of Microsoft? Office Visio? to generate autoMap? views (though not to perform the initial discovery).

No. Currently we are unable to convert library files. You may however try placing the objects into a document, and converting this document.

The conference will bring the global Visio community together to network, share best practices, provide guidance for solution development, discuss plans for Visio’s growth, and more.

If your application does not require schematics, Visio is not required. Input can be done via forms or the web, and the output can be text-based as well (bills of materials, web pages).

Yes, you can. One of the guiding principles of Apprentice Systems is that you should be able to easily enhance your existing applications by embedding your people's knowledge.

Yes, any drawing you create using your Apprentice-enhanced content will automatically produce a bill of materials, including automatic part number selection based on the specifications provided.

Traditionally, a process map is the graphical representation of the process. In iGrafx Process for Six Sigma, the process map also defines connectivity between the different tasks. When you use departments on your process map, they are 'intelligent' in the sense that they know which tasks are contained within a particular department. This knowledge is used during simulation and reporting.
