Hi,

is it possible to import yEd diagrams into draw.io for further editing (not as jpg or svg or something like that)? Possible export formats of yEd are 

  • graphml
  • graphmlz
  • ygf
  • gml
  • xgmx
  • tgf

Thank you

Thomas

Hello,

this post's already been out here for a while, but is there any solution yet? I haven't found a way to go from yed to drawio yet. Is there anything planned?

Have you tested a file using app.diagrams.net?

Hi David,

anything new on this issue? We are really really waiting for these importers. 

Is there a JIRA issue for this where I can register as watcher?

Thank you 

Thomas

Hi Thomas, The GraphML importer does work, the problem is that yEd isn't standard GraphML and so doesn't import.

We have GraphML and GML importers in the base stack, but have never pulled them in to draw. We'll get someone onto that next week.

Hi, I'm just wondering if there's any progress on this as it would be good to not have to draw things up again and just do a straight import instead?

Thanks!

The first problem here is we have a GraphML importer, but yEd isn't standard GraphML. The second issue is that feature request are done by the vote count at https://draw.uservoice.com/forums/266072-feature-requests/suggestions/6449673-import-export-the-graphml-format and the item needs more votes to get into the short term todo.
