Issue/Introduction

Exporting Spectrum Topology  view to Visio in Release 10.4.1 or later

In the "Features and Enhancements" section of the Spectrum 10.4.1 documentation it states "Export Topology View in SVG/Visio" but it does not state how to accomplish this task.

Environment

DX NetOps Spectrum Release : 10.4.1
Component : Spectrum OneClick

Resolution

You cannot export the Topology directly to Visio.

What you have to do is export the Topology to either xml or png format first.

Then, you can take the exported file and import it into a third imaging application supported by mxGraph (for example, draw.io) and change the topology based on your requirements.

Then, you can export it from the third party imaging application to any output formats of that third party imaging application like Visio.

Reference the "TechDocs : DX NetOps Spectrum 22.2 : Export Topology Views" section of the documentation for details.
