Unable to cast object of type ' ' to type ' '

#1

Hi

The attached visio file is throwing an Unable to cast object of type ' ’ to type '​ ’ while trying to convert it to SVG using the following snippet

var d = new Diagram(file);
var SVGso = new SVGSaveOptions();
SVGso.ExportGuideShapes = false;
SVGso.SaveFormat = SaveFileFormat.SVG;
SVGso.SVGFitToViewPort = true;
SVGso.ExportElementAsRectTag = true;
d.Save(svgoutname, SVGso);

We are also converting it to PDF, GIF and PNG, but either of these formats have been testet yet at our process halt when either of the 4 formats fails to convert.

PDF is just saved with

d.Save(pdfoutname, SaveFileFormat.PDF)

GIF and PNG are saved with (the format is changed for PNG output - ofcourse)

var so = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.GIF);
so.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
so.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
d.Save(outputname, so);

Using Apose.Diagrams 19.3.0

However, remaining formats (i.e. PDF, GIF, PNG) were generated without any issue or system halt. For your kind reference, attached are the outputs generated at our end.

that GIF is very dithered, can some adjustments be made by saveoptions? or is it a new task for you?
