Export drawing/components to Visio

[tmart]

Not essential, but it would be very handy to be able to export an application drawing to a Visio drawing format that would allow the use of AppLogic GUI objects within the context of a mixed Visio network diagram. Export might be limited to the actual drawing objects and still be useful, but it would be truly great to have the properties and names/labels exported. I can obviouls take mini screen captures and intermix those images with network objects, but maybe there is a better way using "simple" XML that Visio could understand to create a 1st class drawing object?

Re-importing would probably not be necessary and might introduce a new way of generating errors that would be undersirable.

Thanks, this is an interesting idea that I don't think we'd ever discussed internally before. We'll have to look at what's possible in terms of what Visio will import.

In the meantime, we are introducing annotation capabilities in the AppLogic infrastructure editor to allow adding additional information both on the graphical representation as well as attaching text to individual components.

Annotation will be a great addition. Thanks a ton!
