We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 5.8.0. It includes the long awaited features of saving Visio diagrams in the latest VSDX format and grouping multiple shapes together to move all at once. Since from this version, developers would be able to read and write VSDX file formats. They would also be able to transform multiple shapes into one group shape. Besides this, we have added support of saving Visio diagrams in the HTML format without the toolbar too. Many other defect fixes have been included, those consolidate overall diagram?s elements, formatting like styles, borders, accuracy in positioning shapes and preserve properties and layers. Aspose.Diagram API allows to save Visio diagrams in the VSDX format. The new VSDX format uses XML content and essentially saves drawing in a zipped compression that result in much smaller file sizes. To accomplish this task using Aspose.Diagram API, there is a new addition of the VSDX format in the SaveFileFormat enum. To work faster, developers can now group Visio shapes together using Aspose.Diagram API. They can do anything to a group of shapes like a single shape. The group shape can be resized, rotated and aligned with other shapes, and so on. This release also fixed several important issues reported by our valued customers, such as incorrect font when placing a shape from a VSX stencil, Characters of the shape?s text items are mingling with each other, VSD to PDF conversion, the text items of the shapes are misplaced, VSD to PDF conversion, shapes text items at the top right corners are misplaced, VSD to PDF conversion, the text lines between the bullets are not aligned properly, VSD to PDF conversion, the table item is not preserved and VSD to PDF / HTML conversion, an extra text item is added at left bottom.
