I am a management consultant who uses SmartDraw to prepare flowcharts for
clients. Many of these clients use Visio and would like to have a copy of
the flowchart in Visio format. Is there a conversion tool that makes the
conversion from SmartDraw to Visio format in a way that allows the flowchart
to be updated later in Visio?

Visio does not have an import feature for Smartdraw.

Smartdraw's recommendation is to export as Enhanced Metafile Format and the
have no plans to create an export to Visio feature. This will create a
reasonable looking drawing, but it is only a collection of objects and has
none of the Visio features (shapes are connected).
