copy paste from camunda to word as a vector picture #549

Closed trozman closed 7 years ago

trozman commented 7 years ago

(v1.3.1)Hello, it would be very helpful, if the camunda modeler would allow copy pasting diagram to word (e.g. as WMF/EMF). Currently, I export the diagram as SVG, open it with InkScape, Export it as PNG and import it to word. Very lenghty. Thanks!

You know that you can save diagrams as images in recent versions of the Camunda Modeler, too? That should save you from one step in your workflow.

Yes, I know. But if I save it as bitmap (JPG or PNG), the resolution is not very good and not appropriate for printed media, e.g. books. When I save it as SVG, I render it with InkScape as PNG with 300dpi resolution.
So, still, 3 steps. It is a little lenghty in case of multiple changes of the diagram. Anyway, a great modeller!

SVG is vector graphics, too. Isn't it possible to paste SVG into Office Documents?

Works in LibreOffice :tada:.

Thanks for the hint. Yes, it works in Libre (importing or drag&drop, not copy-pasting). But not in MSOffice, because MsOffice does not support SVG import. If it would, I wouldn't post tickets here :) Unfortunately, it isn't always feasible to work in LibreOffice, especially because I collaborate in teams where Ms Office is preferred.
