Hi

We are getting the following exception when doing a save of a vsdx to svg using Diagram Java 19.1:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException

Looking through the vsdx source, we have a shape like this in visio/pages/page1.xml:

</Text>
    </Shape>

Simply removing <Section N=“Geometry” IX=“0”> block avoids the exception.

Any idea why the exception would happen and how it could be avoided?

Thanks for contacting support.

Would you please share your sample VISIO Diagram with us. We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Hi -

I’ve added a zip containing two files:

  • fails-to-convert.vsdx - causes the exception
  • works-with-modifications.vsdx - slight modification to page1.xml from the failure file makes it work

example-files.zip (35.1 KB)
