Google Docs drawings to Visio
Let's see which file formats are shared between the two if we are moving data from Google Docs to Visio!
Google Docs' supported export file formats for Drawings:
- PDF Document (.pdf)
- Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)
- PNG image (.png)
- JPEG image (.jpg)
Visio's supported import file formats:
- AutoCAD Drawing File Format (.dwg, .dxf)
- Compressed Enhanced Metafile (.emz)
- Enhanced Metafile (.emf)
- Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
- JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg)
- Portable Network Graphics (.png)
- Scalable Vector Graphics Drawing (.svg, .svgz)
- Tag Image File Format (.tif, .tiff)
- Windows Bitmap (.bmp, .dib)
- Windows Metafile (.wmf)
So, we can use the following file formats: SVG, PNG, or JPEG. With drawings, you'd want to work with vector rather than raster graphics, so you're left with SVG.
I tried using the svg export and then importing into Visio, but Google Draw does not seem to create a svg file which is usable in Visio. It's a single object which can't be ungrouped.
