This is how I do it. 1. Create a blank Visio document 2. Add an object with the icon you want 3. Save the visio doc as a png file in the ..Ipswitch\WhatsUp Professional 2005\Data\Icons folder 4. Go to your device type and set the device to use the new icon.
There you go. Simple, easy and works perfectly. I am not sure if this answers your whole question, but this is probably one of the better ways to pull icons from Visio. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Auger, Jay (IS) Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 5:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] More Icons I've created WUG icons from Visio with a different approach. I use a little utility called 'pic2ico.exe'. First I open the visio template, then hit 'Print Screen' to do a screen capture and save it to a file via paint. Then run pic2ico and load the jpeg/bmp/gif/etc... And move the box around to select the area to save as an .ico file. I've done this for some cisco icons, firewall icons, ups icons, etc... It's been a while since I've used it, if I find the app I can email it.

If no one posts some precoverted icons I can use, I will convert the ones I need following this info here. Thanks to the original poster. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09941.htm l Bruce D. Meyer -----Original Message----- From: Meyer, Bruce Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 7:58 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] More Icons Other than the BekArts collection of Icons, which are quite nice and appreciated, does anyone know of other sources of usable art for WUG? Specifically I am looking for the Cisco Style icons for routers and switches. Such as shown here: http://www.conceptdraw.com/products/img/ScreenShots/cd5/network/NetworkD iagr amCiscoIcons.gif Though I would rather have the 2D version than the 3d in this diagram. This is exactly what I am looking for though, the two arrows in a rectangle, (blue back with white arrows) for a switch, and the blue circle with 4 white arrows for the routers. lacking a location for the emf files, has anyone had luck converting jog etc to emf for WUG with something like Jasc Paintshop Pro and had success using the result?
