Exchange Diagrams to Flying Logic

Flying Logic is a great software that was in many ways an inspiration for Vithanco. It has some features that Vithanco lacks and has some other strengths. One key strength is that it is written in Java and therefore available on all systems, including Windows and Linux.

Vithanco allows to exchange of documents freely with Flying Logic in both ways. It transfers all Nodes, Node annotations, Node Types, Clusters, Cluster annotations and Edges. The resulting Flying Logic diagram is therefore a close match.

How to import from Flying Logic?

Limitations and "Worth Knowing"

• Please note that this conversion isn't lossless. Vithanco has many additional settings (e.g. edge annotations) which cannot be transferred.
• Flying Logic (Version 3.0.12) ignores the Entity Class if this class doesn't exist. So, in most cases, you want to manually create the classes in Flying Logic before the import.
