RE: FM8 with SP3/FM9 SP3 or Windows7 - any problems? [P]
Classification: Serco Public I have FM9 + XP SP3. When importing Visio stuff I've found the best solution for me is to export the Visio drawings as SVG for import to FM. Gives me a good result. OLE's a nice idea, but can be a liability. YMMV. Cynthia Milton - 0773 889 5991 Technical Documentation This e-mail and any attachments may contain sensitive and/or privileged material.

Re: FM8 with SP3/FM9 SP3 or Windows7 - any problems?
Orly, not FM nor any OS or SP is the problem... the potential unreliable usage of OLE is the problem and without knowing any detail I would suggest you redesign your processes to avoid OLE. - Michael Am 14.12.2010 um 11:35 schrieb Orly Zimmerman or...@marvell.com: HI All, I was wondering if anyone knows how FM8 handles embedded Visios (OLEs) with Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or how FM9 handles them. Currently, we work with TCS-FM8 on Windows XP with SP2 and have a load of FM files with embedded Visios. As I understand, FM7 doesn't do well with this matter with SP3- I was wondering what will happen if IT insists on upgrading us to SP3 or Windows 7. We will have to change the way we work or is it not a problem? TIA, Orly. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

There was a problem with OLE in Windows SP3, but Adobe fixed it in FM8.

An occasional use of OLE may be OK, but using lots of OLE objects is asking for trouble. I suggest you consider a change in workflow. Assuming you have the full version of Acrobat, its PDF Maker for MS Office does a fine job of creating PDFs from Visio. Those PDFs can be imported into FM by reference as files, not OLE objects. When you update the Visio drawing, the only added step required is to click the Convert to PDF button. Richard G.

I use FM 9 not 8, but I do exactly what Richard suggests. I create PDFs of my Visio files then import the PDFs by reference. It works really well, looks good onscreen and the prints quality is excellent.
