Importing VISIO diagram into SOLMAN 4.0

Hi,
Kindly let me know if <b>SOLMAN 4.0</b> has provision <b>to import a visio flow diagram/ any flow chart</b> in the Business Blueprint node or anywhere else. If so how can we bring in diagrams or what is the option which would help in importing the same so as to help in bringing out a better blue print document.
Your valid comments are awaited....
Thanks & Regards,
Banu

Hi Andy,
The VISIO document type is not a standard one. So we need to customize the document type with the VISIO document type extension .VSD.
1)In the Project standards, you can include the documentation type.
2)Since VISIO is not a standard documentation type customize the new document type by including it as say ZVSD, note that the file extension to be included is .vsd.
3)Move the defined document type & attributes(like if its blue print relevant) to the project structure so that you can import VISIO files into the necessary node.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Banu

  • Importing Visio diagrams into Framemaker

    Hi all, I am considering using framemaker9 as my main documentation tool, and using visio2003 as my diagramming tool.
    As such, I will be importing the visio diagrams into framemaker by reference so that any mods to the visio diagrams will be automatically reflected in the framemaker document.
    The questions I have is:
    1. Which file format is the best to use for the importing? Should I save the visio diagrams in PDF or SVG format? I would prefer a format which provide the most resolution.
    2. When I have more than 1 page in a visio file, I noticed that there is no way for me to choose which page to be imported when importing in SVG format. However, with PDF, a dialog box would pop up to allow me to select which page in the visio file to be imported. Is this a bug in framemaker or have I missed some step in the process of importing SVG file?
    3. When importing some graphics/diagrams into an anchor frame, is there a way to make the imported graphics/diagrams automatically adjust its size to fit into the anchored frame area? If so, what are the steps?
    TIA
    BTW, I am just an engineer trying to document my work.

    framethrower,
    A PDF might be the most portable and reliable option for rendering; however, I find PDF generation to be a bit cumbersome when there are many images to deal with. I use Visio frequently and have had good success using the WMF format. All vector qualities of the original image are maintained and it looks OK on the screen. Naturally, it prints perfectly. I also like how the final image size automatically adjusts to the exact dimensions of the artwork, regardless of the original canvas size. Some caveats:
    - WMF is Windows only
    - Fonts are not embedded. If you distribute the image in any format besides a PDF, the target computer will need to have any fonts that you used.
    Otherwise, I'd suggest it as an option. I have a macro set up in Visio that saves a copy of an image as WMF, so I can refresh my WMF version with a click. I've pasted the basic macro text below. Note that this macro also saves a PNG version as well. It may be possible to adjust it to save a PDF version, I'm not sure. In any case, over the long haul, it saves much time over doing the manual Save As.

        ' get the length of the path, to be used for truncation 
        length = Len(path) 
        ' change our filename to have a wmf extension 
        newpath = Left(path, length - 4) 
        newpath = newpath + ".wmf" 
        ' save the wmf

  • Symbols used in VISIO diagram are not shown when imported to FrameMaker 8.0

    I have FrameMaker 8.0 and when importing a visio diagram that includes a symbol, the symbol is not shown in the FrameMaker document correctly. It either is shown as a small box or as a question mark.
    Is there a way to work around this issue?

    > These symbols are availabe in FM when you insert equations.
    Just because the symbols are available in FM in one font doesn't mean
    they're available in FM in the font Visio used. This is why Art and
    Sheila are asking you about fonts, specifically, whether the font used
    in Visio is also available to Framemaker.
    Beyond that, OLE is not a stable way to get graphics into Frame (or any
    other app, really).
    BTW, a German sharp s (ß) is not the same as a beta (β) (which probably
    won't make it through NNTP and the forum). They look close, but they're
    quite different.

  • Adding a visio diagram "on the fly" to my publishing wiki page

    I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection. and i want to add a view diagram to my wiki pages, to allow users to read them. so i did the following :-
    I edit the page.
    Under Web part, I select “Business Data”, then “Visio web access”.
    I click on “Click here to open the tool pane”.
    but how i can upload the visio diagram from my PC to my wiki page, as seems the options only allow selecting from avilable site assets ?
    Second question.if i upload the Visio diagram successfully ,, will it be displayed inside my wiki page ?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    The Visio Web Part displays Visio diagrams that are located in SharePoint.  Once you log out it won't have access to your desktop anymore.  Instead you should upload the Visio document to a SharePoint library and then reference it from
    there.  It would be nice if it was integrated into a single process, but I suspect its not something MS thought enough people would do to spend the time writing the extra code to integrate it.  So at least for now its a two step process.

    Please remember to mark your question as "answered" if this solves your problem.
    so to add a visio diagram , we need to do the following:-
    1. upload the visio to SP.
    2. add a web part.
    3. Browse for the Visio drawing.
    by defualt there is no way to directly upload a new Visio diagram...

  • Visio diagrams in Word docs turn to bitmap in PDF

    When creating PDFs from Word documents containing embedded Visio diagrams, the text in the Visio diagrams sometimes turns to bitmap. Sometimes shape outlines become bitmapped too, but that occurs less frequently. If I create a PDF directly from Visio, all is well.
    I am using Windows XP SP3, Viso 2003, Word 2003 SP-3, and Acrobat 7. I have also tried with Jaws PDF Creator 3.6 and Bullzip PDF Printer 6, all with similar results. I have tried various different Acrobat Postscript and font settings, but nothing helps.
    Interestingly, sometimes performing copy-paste from Visio to Word temporarily solves the problem (i.e. PDF after Visio paste is ok, but PDF next time, after some editing of the DOC, is bitmapped again).
    I have also tried on different computers and verified that the problem is not my machine.
    Any ideas?
    In the meantime I have been reduced to creating a PDF of the diagram and pasting it into the PDF of my document. Not a very good way to work.
    I will be most grateful for any and all suggestions.

    I have found the solution, though I have no idea why it works or what's really going on. (BTW, it seems the problem only happens with bold text.)
    Apparently this is a Word problem.
    Here's the solution:
    1. Right click the Visio diagram in Word and select Visio Object>Convert.
    2. In the Convert dialog select Convert to>Microsoft Visio drawing (for me that was the only option listed), and click OK.
    It's a mystery. If anyone has any idea what's going on here, I'd love to know.

  • What is the best way to integrate an ER diagram into BPA?

    Hi,
    In the context of a conversion project, trying to understand what is the lighter and easier way to import an ER diagram into BPA. The tools I'm currently using allow me to generate any xml/text data from current models... but trying to understand the minimal effort so the main semantic of models get kept (not a big deal if fonts, positioning, layout things are lost on the way)
    Attached is an example problem, would be great to see what textual representation denoting the same semantic can be accepted by BPA
    My example model:
    Product(prod_id (pk), name) ---* Order({prod_id, cust_id} (pk), quantity_ordered) * --- Customer (cust_id (pk), cust_name)
    A customer can have 0 to many orders
    A product can be ordered by 0 to many customers
    A order is made for 1 product and 1 customer, and for each order we know the quantity of the product ordered
    if someone has already run integration of large ERds into BPA would be fantastic help to have some hints/feedbacks on your approach best practices
    kind regards
    Frederic

    There is a thrid party product that con convert data models between most tools, including BPA. You can find information about it here: http://www.reischmann.com/. If you just want to migrate the main objects and their characteristics and the diagram is not as important you could look at using Excel as a data transfer medium. The report "Import Data in Excel Format" allows you bring information into BPA quickly, however it is a one time conversion and won't accomodate updates. You could also look at the macro "Process Generator" which also allows for objects to be imported from an Excel SS. Either of the SS solutions will require some configuration.

  • Unable to import .mp4/.ts into Premiere Elements 3.0

    I've captured footage from my PlayStation 3 using this device: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable
    The device saves the footage in a .ts file.
    I've tried to get information on the file using a program. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know:
    When I try to import the file into Premiere Elements 3.0, I get an error message: "File format not supported/One of the necessary components may not have been installed."
    I've converted the file into an mp4 format with this program: http://ftp2.avermedia.com/C875/C875_utility_v1.0.0.9_20131029.zip
    Information on the file:
    But this did not solve the problem.
    Ideally, I would like to avoid converting the video file, if that would take up a lot of time. If I can just upgrade Premiere Elements, that would be the most ideal solution.
    Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

    Akvod
    I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
    But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
    And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
    If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
    You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

  • How to Import XML file into SAP B1

    Dear All,
    I have a scenario like,
    I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
    Thanks,
    Thanga Raj K

    Hy folks,
    I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
    There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
    However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
    So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or  it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
    Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
    Could you please help me with this subject!
    Thanks a lot,

  • I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2.  Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

    I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2.  Everything in iMovie looks like it is working.  It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing.  When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty.  The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously.  My system is about one year old.  Any suggestions?

    Hey, Clinton,
         Thanks for your help!  I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video.  I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support.  They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded.  That didn't change anything.  In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge.  But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2. 
         1.  Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
         2.  Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
         3.  Close iMovie 9
         4.  Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
         5.  File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events.  Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.) 
         6.  Select the clips and import.  Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
    You may get a message that some files cannot be imported.  Click continue import.  It's a little glitchy.  It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too.  On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy.  In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
    Hope this additional information helps somebody else.  Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

  • Import Russian text into FM 7.1, please advice

    Dear professionals
    From our Russian agent I received some MS-Word documents in the Russian language.
    I wanted to import the Cyrillic text / characters into Framemaker documents to make a structured book.
    But copying and pasting makes Frame only show question marks.
    Selecting an other font did not show anything else.
    What is the simpelest way of making Frame "eat" the Cyrillic MS-Word text and make a proper structured document.
    I read already things about "font mappings", but haven't the faintest "clou" about how to do such a thing.
    Al this on a Win-XP system and Frame version 7.1p116.
    Font Arial CYR and others available in the Paragraph Designer.
    Your advice will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Wolter

    Wolter,
    You have to transform the text into the Cyrillic codepage. Codepage is a term describing a set of max. 256 characters (encodable with a single byte). With Western Windows we use the codepage 1252, for Cyrillic text codepage 1251 is necessary.
    Without rebooting etc. you may want to proceed like this:
    * Open the document with Word
    * File > Save as Text (there might be two options, we need the option which allows to set the encoding)
    * Select "Windows (Russian)" or something with "1251" from the encoding popup menu. If the document contains any characters that do not fit into this encoding, it will tell you.
    * Save as txt file.
    Now you can import this file into FrameMaker, if asked for an encoding, use Windows — FrameMaker 7.x does not know anything about Cyrillic etc., only when you apply a font like Arial CYR (which is a codepage subset of Arial) the correct glyphs will appear.

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.
    -Robert

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."
