Can a Flow5 file be converted (imported) to Visio?

[Judy]

We have several Flow5 files that need to be converted to Visio and would
appreciate any suggestions/guidance you may have so that we don't have to
recreate the files.

Thanks!

Flow as in Flowcharter?

There's this tool from MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7A-B44B-4ACA-9FC0-7B99FBBA8595&displaylang=en

But it says for Flowcharter 7.0.

Not sure how well that will work with 5.0...

 

[Judy]

It's simply called Flow Charting and it's a Patton & Patton software. I
appreciate your suggestion, but I think Flowcharter is a different software.

I checked with Bill Patton at Patton & Patton and they do not have a
converter or any orm of output that would assist in converting from Flow 5
to Visio. So it looks like you will have to manually create these
flowcharts.

Hopefully the redrawing will not be a lot of work. At least you now know
there is not an easier solution.

Does the Patton & Patton software have any type of export, such as in a text
format? Visio might be able to make use of that data....

Chris: I asked P&P, but the answer was no.
