  • 1.  Export to Visio

    Posted Thu October 28, 2021 12:29 PM
    Hi
    One of our users would like to export from Blueworks to Visio.

    The  export functions (.xsls, .BPMN2.0 and XPDL2.1) don't seem to be readable in any useful fashion by Visio...has anyone had any success with this?

    Best regards - Martin

    Hi Martin, 

    For a one-time or low volume thing, have you tried exporting to excel and then using the Visio function to create diagram from data with Excel? I believe the option is available in Visio desktop version or as a MS installed plugin/extension. 

    Another thing suggested was that there are some BPMN to Visio converter tools. 

    I suspect neither of these is perfect since you have to go to another tool first, but haven't personally tried them. 

    Thanks!

    Hi Stephanie

    Many thanks for your response. I did consider the export to Excel then using Visio to create from Excel but I suspect by the time I've done that, validated the import and export then made the inevitable corrections it would probably be quicker for me to have Blueworks and Visio opened side by side on the screen and manually recreated the process

    I have not tried the BPMN to Visio converter tools but will take a look for those and see if they help.

    Many thanks again - Martin

    Hi Martin, we are including multiple import/export options with the next release of our simulation and analysis tool Automation Compass (and is integrated with Blueworks Live). This includes formats such as Excel, text files, Lucid, BPMN, XPDL, and Visio. I would be interested to hear a bit about your client requirements and see if we could assist.

    Is the export option limited by licensing? I thought I previously had the export to visio option, but don't see it anymore.

    Hi Ryan, IBM Blueworks Live has never had an option to export to BPMN. You can import from Visio but not export. As Stephanie stated above you can export to Excel and then use Visio to generate the process from that (although you will still need to correct the positioning). 

    Kind regards,

    Jared

    Hi Jared,

    Is there any improvement on the situation ? Can we export into Visio now?

    You mentioned Automation Compass. Is this available. Can we try it ?

    Hi Jared Michalec

    Have there been any updates on the situation? Are we now able to export into Visio?

    You also mentioned Automation Compass. Is it currently available? Can we try it out?
