Hi, I'm using the tirial version of your ERM Diagram tool. I'm looking to reproduce (in a .NET winforms app) a flowchart that has been created for me using Visio. What is the best way of doing this?? I need access to the individual shapes to change the colour - should I reproduce using Design Studio save as XML, then load in my app? How are the elements named in the XML? Is it possible to change then - so that they can be referenced from .NET in the collection of shapes? Thanks

You will need to recreate the chart in Diagram Studio , save as xml then open it using the Model.Open method.

You can then manipulate the elements using the objects provided, such as the Shapes and Lines collection.

You could also hand edit the xml which is in SOAP format.
