How do I convert Visio stencils to TouchDraw libraries?
TouchDraw doesn't (yet) support automatic import of Visio stencil files, so you'll have to go through a small manual process to convert them over. Here's is the process that you need to do:
- Create a new drawing in Visio.
- Add the stencils that you want to import to TouchDraw into that drawing.
- Save that drawing as a VDX file.
- Import the VDX file into TouchDraw.
- Add a new library into TouchDraw.
- Select each stencil shape individually and add them to the library.
Can Adobe Illustrator open the files that TouchDraw exports?
TouchDraw doesn't support exporting to Illustrator native format (AI); however Illustrator can open the SVG and PDF files that TouchDraw exports just fine.
