| | Convert Visio 2000 vsd's to 2007 I need to convert some 12,000 visio 2000 vsd's contained in some 15,000 folders into visio 2007 format. (overwrite original 2000 vsd's) getting the files and piping into loop is no problem but i am unsure about how to go about the actually conversion. - |

| | Re: Convert Visio 2000 vsd's to 2007 For example, with COM, this can open a Vision diagram: PS>$visio=new-object -com vision.application PS>$visio.documents.open("C:\my.vsd") That's as far as I've gotten so far.

| | Re: Convert Visio 2000 vsd's to 2007 Mmm automate tools and there really are lots of Windows-based tools available, for Windows PowerShell to automateI Quote: > Is a 3rd party helper out of the question? > but remember that is just what PowerShell is - an automation tool meant to move data from tool to tool until one is done! Quote: > I need to convert some 12,000 visio 2000 vsd's > contained in some 15,000 folders for regex, folders, files, AD and more), will also help here! "Log Parser" - Bing http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22Log+Parser%22 And surely after all these years, any PowerShell user can help one automate Log Parser too! As always enjoy the automation of tools within the Windows-based, ..NET aware, WPF accessible, admin's automation tool, powershell.exe! |
