+1So I’m trying to generate images using Mermaid.js as DAC and then export it to a VISIO file, but when I open the visio file which was exported it is blank as the pic given.
(Note: I’m using Libre Office Draw to view the visio file which should be capable of doing it)
This happened for all types of diagram generation.
+8Hi James,
Could you explain how you export it? using Export to Visio menu item command (.vsdx, vdx,...).
Regards.
+1I am exporting it using the Export to Visio Menu and have tried both (.vsdx and .vdx ) formats but still the same result

+8Could you share one of your export so I could try with regular Visio?

This is my google drive link the files in the two formats

This is the link to my Lucid Diagram

This FillColor is not exported to Visio

Apologies for the late reply from my side,
How would you suggest in resolving the export if the Fill Color is not exported, since I merely used the default C4 diagram in Mermaid.js provided by Lucid.
+8Hello
I’m sorry for this very very late reply, I was in vacation.
The turnaround is to export to PNG and then import in Visio.
I’m also figure out and work how to use mermaid directly in Visio or to create a lucid extension getting the svg from mermaid and translate it in blocks and lines in lucid diagram.
Will keep you inform.
Best regards.
